Saw my family doctor yesterday. She explained what was going on with my neck. Basically my neck is kind of a mess. In addition to the fracture, all the vertebra in my neck are hernieated. This means that they are pushing down on each other and thats whats causing my pain. All the nerves come down the spinal column and out to the extremities. Right now I am on meds to get the pain and inflammation under control. I have an appt with Dr Macielak Sept 2nd. I also am getting an appt with Dr. Dalton to get his opinion.
So far I'm being told they can treat this with medication. I may have to get injections at some point. Surgery is kind of a last resort if everything else fails.
