I went to the Pm Dr. and was told yesterday that I have a disc herniation. This is the first time I have ever been told this. I have seen 2 neurosurgeons, and a pm dr. I was told I have cervical spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disorder So when did this herniation take place? I have done physical therapy, and 3 epi shots, and now just take pain meds and rest a lot. Wondering if this is something new, or a part of the other situations.
Thanks for your opinion...:):):)

It could have happened anytime... I have degenerative disk too and my doctor told me that it would just get worse and eventually herniate. Sounds like just the progression of the disease.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
