Mainly because I feel like all I do is complain about how bad it hurts all the time now.
Also, without surgery it will remain herniated with possible further herniation as I get older, and might lose the use of my left arm (which sucks because I'm left handed).
With it being the second vertebrae (2nd disc) in my neck (referred to as the 'cervical area') its pretty close to my brain so that sucks.
BUT I had my uncle give me a blessing last week and I'm pretty confident that with physical therapy I should be A-OK. I start this on Monday. Wish me luck
