Book Reviews of What to do for a Pain in the Neck : The Complete Program for Neck Pain ReliefBook Review: Great Book Summary: 5 StarsI have a herniated disc in my neck and have been having severe pain at times due to it pressing on my spinal cord nerve for several years.
First my doctor suggested medication, which was working fine to relieve the pain but after awhile it no longer was effective. After that she sent me to physical therapy in hopes that might solve the problem. That also worked for awhile and then stopped being effective.
Lastly she sent me to a neurosurgeon who told me that I needed a discetomy and fusion. Even after he explained to me what it was I still did not understand the possible problems that could result due to having the surgery or if it would completely relieve the pain because it had gotten out of control and actually was so bad that the pain would run down my right arm and I could barely use it or sit still. I also wondered if the surgery was truly necessary and the only option inspite of what the neurosurgeon said even though he was a very good doctor and I felt that he really cared about helping me to get rid of my pain because I just don't like the idea of surgery for anything unless there is no other choice and almost everything has been tried.
Since I research many things I started looking for books that I could read on neck pain and how to relieve it and this book was by far the most informative and really taught me alot of the medications that I had been taking and whether I should have surgery and the positive and negative aspects of the procedure not to mention other treatment options.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has neck pain and wants to learn about it.
