    Jesus Christ. How did you get to point where you needed surgery by 37?

      Bad herniated disk in my neck. Likely genetic factors. My dad had the exact same issue. The pain got so bad I was just running around screaming at night instead of sleeping. Ended up in hospital on Christmas evening of all days. Tried physical therapy, pain killers, excercise. Nothing helped.

          Thanks! Thankfully the surgery did wonders and I’ve been painfree since. Let’s hope it stays that way
