Having exploratory surgery this afternoon on my neck. Last week, I was playing basketball and while going up for a shot, I got hit hard and landed against my head on the edge of the bleachers. Ever since then, I have had intense pain on the sides and back of my neck.
Went to the Dr. yesterday PM and he thinks something may be wrong in there (discs or something else, etc) . From what I understand, they will make a tiny incision and look around. If something is wrong and can be repaired easily with a laser, etc they will do it at that time. super!! He said if it is minor, the effects will last until saturday or sunday and I can be back to normal activities in a week or two.
Just what I wanted to do today. Right now, I can only look straight ahead. If I turn my head a 1/2" to either side, it is agonizing. I drove to work today and it is a chore to look in the blindspots, etc. Hurts even to look at my computer.
Sleep is damn near impossible. Any position I try to sleep in causes pain somewhere.
Just want to get it over with.
