Well I'll try and make this short...

I got hurt at work lifting something in may of 04' they changed the proceedure for the job...for about 1 month and then fired the safety guy and got a new one and the job is back to the old way now...
Anyway...I had two discs bad C4-5 and C6-7(which is right between your shoulder blades)...they fused C6-7 and put a titanium plate inside...thinking the C4-5 would not be so bad.
Went back to work full duty and thought I was just going to have to live with the pain...My doctor moved to CA...so I get a new Doctor he says I should not be having pain and numbness in my arms...so after an MRI and a Myleogram...I am scheduled for surgery on May 30th. He is going to fix both discs as the first fusion failed...so I will have a bigger plate...which means less rotation for my neck...I am looking at getting some re-training for the work force...which may actually be good for me...I am thinking about Micro-Biology schooling...I would rather zoology but the nearest school is in Pitsburg, PA.
Right now I just have to get through this surgery...lol. Then that week I have a female that should drop her babies...that should get me going again! Take care my friend! Andy
