I didn't realize I had a cervical disc herniation, but I was diagnosed with one.

I never thought it would be a cervical disc problem. I visited the neurology department at the Strong Hospital because my left shoulder was hurting so much. This place does a lot of cervical disc and knee surgeries and has many clinical cases, so I deliberately went even though it was a bit far. I came for treatment, thinking it was neurology or neurosurgery, because my shoulder was hurting, but they said there was nothing wrong with my shoulder.. There was no issue with the shoulder tissue, but since it hurt, I was told to see another department, so I received treatment from a different doctor. They suggested it could be a cervical disc, so I scheduled an MRI and had a cervical MRI done. They said the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae were slightly protruding, indicating a cervical disc, and recommended posture correction and consistent treatment. Hoping to reduce the pain immediately, I diligently received treatments such as electrical therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and manual therapy, and by paying close attention to my posture, the pain gradually decreased. I went to the hospital because my shoulder was hurting so much, and it turned out to be a cervical disc.. It was a very surprising experience. The extracorporeal shock wave therapy was so painful. After experiencing it once, I started doing neck massages at home frequently, and I try to lie down with a neck pillow and keep a straight posture. The neck massager surprisingly feels refreshing, so it has taken a spot on the sofa.. and my whole family is using it together. Everyone, be careful before you get sick, and if you do, go to the hospital early. Enduring pain and growing the disease will make it much harder later. How difficult a cervical disc is.. that’s why I am managing it diligently.
