Collar bone surgery...

"Time doesn't heal anything. It just teaches us how to live with the pain..."

(The MRI results)

I was diagnosed with chronic Cervical spondylosis.

This condition is often characterised by intervertebral disk degeneration of the cervical spine. Based on the MRI results I have herniated cervical disks at C3/C4, C4/C5 and C6/C7. The spine specialist suspected my constant pain in the upper back, neck and shoulder joints is caused by the impingement of the exiting nerve roots.

The Spine Specialist suggested an operation to treat the herniated cervical disks. Under general anesthesia, I undergone an hour of non-invasive laser operation and warded for two days. They had scheduled a few follow-up appointments with the specialist and physio-therapist. For now I had to wear a neck brace for a month and refrain from riding or travelling long distance for the next three months.

At my age, I guess I need more time to recuperate.
