Good to know!
@A MyDepressionTeam Member, John, I had a FADE (fusion and discectomy) at C6-C7 to relieve left arm pain. Facet injections and radio frequency ablations only lasted a couple of months. The neurosurgeon had to go in through the front of my neck to access the affected area of the spinal column and discs. I have a barely noticeable scar above my collarbone, but I woke with no pain in the left arm whatsoever.
If the MD is knowledgeable and skilled, treatment should be uncomplicated. Osteoarthritic changes are more than normal as we age, like Harrison Ford/Indiana Jones said in "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Honey, it ain't the years, it's the mileage."
@A MyDepressionTeam Member, my recommendation is to seek the services of a neurosurgeon who can offer a spinal cord stimulator. I've had mine for 4 years and I still get 75%-85% relief on a continual basis. This allows me to keep physically active, within tolerance levels.
It's beautiful Janice!
