Eye problems and cervical compression

I have cervical spondylosis (Radiculopathy) from C5 to C7; diagnosed in 2017. Since then I have had 2 cervical injections. The first one increased my pain dramatically for the first few days, to the point that I felt like my whole back went out. I was out of commission during that period. Unfortunately, my doctor at the time still suggested I try it again, just to be sure that it wasn't an isolated incident. That was a few years later. The second time, I wasn't nearly caused as much pain, but it did very little to help my existing pain. I do believe it is prolonging the inevitable, and for me, it was definitely not worth it. However, different individuals respond differently to medication, and I have heard about an equal amount of horror stories vs. success stories. Praying it works better for you than it did for me.

@alwaystriving770 I appreciate your honest experience with me. I am leaning toward a permanent fix as i can not function with my visual problems from the compression. If a Dr could guarantee complete resolution of my eye problems i would do it. Thank you so much!!
