The Surgery That Did Not Happen
Is surgery the only option or may I heal myself?
My neck had been a source of issue for at least a decade and I dealt with it the best I knew how. Taking Valerian Root at night had helped me to sleep lying down and provided a rest for the loud pinched nerves that kept informing me of the issue.
Many years of drywall finishing, especially big tall ceilings; had worn out my neck vertebrae. I was aware of the missing bone in my neck and always moved with caution to keep the spine in its proper place. This had kept me pain-free and functional for most of the time.
Suddenly, however, new pain began to drive itself from my neck deep into my chest too. Without a pause, the pain was consuming me. There seemed to not be enough ice packs in the county and another pop of a Turmeric supplement was about to turn me yellow.
I thought it might be possible that I pulled a muscle in my chest while sanding the hardwood floors or maybe I burnt my lungs with the three days I spent varnishing the hardwood. If not, my heart was telling me of new trouble now too.
