Gene, thanks for your advice and for both replies. Duly noted.

I'm currently doing PT after several months of McKenzie and inversion at home, just started, but they seem to think damage is done and haven't given me any idea that they hope to fix the problem, only lessen symptoms by strengthening and stretches for ROM. I was really hoping at PT they would want to focus on fixing whats wrong. The whole process is pretty frustrating. I dont want to just go through life with pain management and pills, Im hoping for an actual solution. The reason im even yhinking surgery so early is becayse im afraid problem will get worse and i will live years in pain than have to fuse.

My mother has had 2 fusions and still has constant pain and limited function in both arms. I'm very scared to end up like that.
