In 2002 I started having neck pain. I had to wake up everymorning and ice down. I had a garbage bag full of ice.. I went to doctor after doctor until I found the right one in 2004. He recommended surgery and there was a chance I could have limited motion or even some paralysis. I had no choice so I did it. The doc said I wouldnt be able to go to the gym and I would not be able to do physical work.. It took 3 years but I proved the doctors wrong.... At the time it felt like my life was over.. The feelings passed. It wasnt over. A new chapter was beginning. Keep fighting, there will be good days and bad days. Its always darkest before the dawn.... Just gotta find the right doc to help you out. Proably have to go through a few duds first
