does severe foraminal narrowing resulting in a pinched nerve require surgery?
I had a CT Scan last week and it stated that I had severe foraminal narrowing resulting in a pinched nerve at C6-C7 on the left side. I have an appointment in 4 weeks with neurosurgeon. My question is is this treatable with conservative therapy or surgery?
How long does it take for a cortisone shot to work on an allergy rash?
My toddler has red hive/welts all over the back of his hands. The doctor thinks it’s a contact allergy reaction of some kind, and gave him a shot of cortisone this morning. When should I expect to see progress?

Herniated disc giving pain what can be done to help it?
I have a herniated bulging disc in my lower back and at times it gives me some pain down my right buttock and sometimes down my right leg as well. Is there anything I can do to cure it, I’ve had it for years and have been to physio, chiropractors and massage but hasn’t cured it any ideas out there????
Do you know that Progressive Insurance is a greedy deceptive insurance company?
The reason I ask this is because I deal with progressive claims and some people are suckered into their low rates because they deceptively get customers to waive their rights to PIP (personal injury protection.) They give people an ,000 PIP deductible. That means the ,000 that auto insurance is responsible to pay when you get into an auto accident has to come out of your pocket. So I ask that question to see if anyone else has any horror stories about Flo and her awesome company.
What is the most dangerous sports injury?

How do you know if you have a pinched nerve in your neck and how do your treat it?
My neck has been hurting for about a week, I was rear ended in a car accident, but it did not hurt away since then my arm has been tingly and my fingers become stiff after a little while. Many people have told me it’s probably a pinched nerve. Could this be it or possibly something else? If it is a pinched nerve how would you treat that?
What happens when the plaintiff doesn't show for court to defend a restraining order issued to an ex?
Does the plaintiff get issued a warrant for their arrest? Or do they proceed without the plaintiff or is the restraining order dismissed?
Does anyone know for sure? Will you let me know if this is what you’ve been told, seen, heard, or if you were a defendant or plaintiff in a case like such. THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP!!!
Herniated disc, unimaginable pain. Please help?!?
I have a herniated disc in my lower back and it goes into my left buttock. I was laying down flooring and it began to hurt very badly. The next day the pain was gone. Then the day after I was shoveling and I must have done something to avoid hurting my back which ultimately was the worst thing I could do. I went to a chiropractor but it didn’t help. At times I have such extreme pain I don’t know what to do with myself, it is EXCRUCIATING to the nth power. I get into a rage and I swear for about 5 minutes straight. The looks on my family members’ faces are unbearable when they see what the pain does to me. What do you recommend to make the pain go away?
Yes, Sheltie Lover, I am no longer shoveling. God knows what would happen if I did again.
what is the name of the condition when 1 shoulder is higher than the other & humped, w missing vertebrae?
My late father was born with one shoulder humped, and was said to be missing vertebrae in his neck. Later in life, he learned that he had only one kidney; he died from unrelated causes. He was my grandparents’ 2nd child, the first boy being stillborn without arms or legs, and hydrocephalus. Their 3rd child, female, appears to have had no serious health issues.
How many cortisone shots are you suppose to get for your shoulder?
