A member asked:
I have a pinched nerve in my neck. the medicean and nerve blocks aren't cutting it any more. is their a surgical option that would be a perminet fix?

Yes: If your pinched nerve has been diagnosed as coming from a cervical level of disc injury, surgical options exist. Long term restrictions for neck surgery may be recommended such as 15 pounds restrictions, no vacuuming. Given your young age, this may interact with your family plans. You need to be a non-smoker for best surgical outcomes. Good luck.

Yes: Talk to a neurosurgeon. There are various surgical options, but they would depend on your MRI films. Good luck.
