Hi,
I updated my profile. I hope I did it right! I saw Dr. Kenneth Light and I am looking for another opinion because my neck is on the line! Have to joke. I cried Most of the day .
This pain is awful. I have nerve pain in my face, back of my head, neck and rt foot. Moving my bowels increases pain in my rt limbs .
I have BC/BSof GA because the company my hubby works for is based in Ohio. Dr. Light said it'd be a miracle if my insurance covered a C4-5 C 5-6 disk replacement which he highly reccommends or a fusion of C4-C6(which he doesn't recommend ).

I would so appreciate another opinion in the Bay area. I never felt so alone. I am very thankful for this web site Thanks
