SMRT 0 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I recently found out I am going to have to have surgery to repair to blown out disk in my neck so as my 4th golf season was about to start, it is now over. I will be taking some time to focus on my recovery so I will be stepping away from the forum because I will not have any new golf information to contribute. I really appreciate all of the advice and help I have received from this great community of golfers. I also appreciate the connections I have made with a few of you and look forward to getting back to playing and meeting you all in the future. I will return as soon as I feel I can contribute as much as I benefit from you all. Have a great season everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shambles 4 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Get a second opinion. A doctor told me I needed an operation for a slipped disk and even warned me that I could become a quadroplegic if I did not do so if I happened to even hit a bump in the road. That doctor was asking for money I did not have, and I went home and sat in my room thinking on what to do for a few days, rather depressed. A friend came by because he had heard of my problem and forced me to accompany him to a different hospital to see a doctor friend of his. While there a second doctor took interest because I had had an MRI done and he wanted to see it. They both came to the conclusion that I did not need an operation and suggested physical therapy as an alternative. Apparently I did have a disk problem but it was not yet bad enough to warrent an operation. While undergoing physical therapy I noticed that just about everything done to me involved stretching my spine so I found a very simple book on yoga and used those excercises, albeit without force, and my healing accelerated to such a degree that I stopped the physical therapy but continued the yoga. I still do the yoga thing but only when I feel those old problems creeping back. I sure wish I could figure out what caused it in the first place. GET A SECOND OPINION.
