Re: Cervical Spine Disc Problems, reassurance its not in my head needed.
I went to the Veterans Hospital for neck/nerve pain that was not bearable. They gave me a gizmo that hooks to the top of a door, one end has a water bottle that holds 8 lbs of water the other end has a velcro strap that hooks around your head and chin.
Hard to believe but 10 minutes of this pulling my head and relieving the pressure on the nerves and I was completely free of neck pain.

God bless,
Oh, wow.... I am pleased it worked for you, but it does sound really horrible... I suppose at the end of the day, anything is worth trying, if it is likely to help, thank you for your reply, and best wishes.

It only "sounds" that way. It was really no big deal with the exception that it worked. A simple idea when you think about it. Taking the pressure off by gently pulling the head up so the vertabrae can realign and stop pushing on the nerve.
A chiropractor would not be able to do this because it does take about 10 whole minutes and not a couple of seconds that they would be able to apply.
Anyhow I am not trying to sell anything only passing along a great experience.

Hi,
I just read your message and am thrilled to hear you're finally in the care of a competent doc who takes your problems seriously. You'll be referred out for your other needs-that's great! No more hangin' over the bed. Listen, The TENS is a God-send. I am really hoping it helps you the way it did me.
No one in the world is pain-free, but this is a long way from where you were. I'm so happy for you!
