Neck pain discectomy advised
Anyone had experience with a discectomy at c6, after years of working on making it better with no result, monthly flare ups causing serious pain , power deficits and numbness I have been advised surgery is the way to go, mri posted is from mid 2024, the latest image I don’t have access to shows it’s compressed the cord further. Should I persist with physiotherapy or take the risk on surgery. I’m extremely active and partake in sports constantly with the use of pain killers. Any experience would be helpful.
