Need some advice, herniated disk at C8

[Kevrumbo]

Congrats and best wishes for a speedy recovery --let us know how the rehab goes!

Still procrastinating setting up my procedure, but managing with my bumm index finger & occasional numb forearm. (The only way I know it's not type II DCS post-dive is if the right arm numbness goes away immediately upon flexing my neck & head down and forward. . . )

The recovery is going great. Within a week I was off daily pain meds. At three weeks I was back in the gym. There is still occasional pain when I push it too far so I follow doctor's orders, if it hurts too much don't do it. That pain/discomfort is from the surgery and has nothing to do with the nerves.

Right now my biggest regret is not having the procedure earlier.
