Greetings all sorry we had to meet this way.
Well, I have significantly large C6/C7 herniation after moving a heavy credenza at work June 14th of this year. I have since gone to Physical therapist who gave me some exercises then a nap on a decompression machine; The decompression took the constant numbness out of my left hand, but I am still plagued by muscle spasms and weakness of my left arm and chest. I am now going through with the McKenzie method. I have seen 2 surgeons.

Thank you all and I am sorry that we suffer
