sorry to hear about your condition. I had a couple episodes with 'degenerative' bones. Mine were C-1 - 6. I tried the therapy for 26 weeks, did the awful injection in the neck and finally had the bones removed off the nerves - bingo! I had it on both sides and both surgeries helped. I couldn't stand the constant stabbing. good luck, you do need to get something done.
