@ray666 Thank you for sharing. I started my analysis in 2020, did not have surgery or PT but initiated - walking, stretching, yoga, deep-tissue massage, acupuncture on my own. Things improved significantly, but I still had intermittent loss of balance. Then my legs weakened and I had pain at night in my neck. When seeing a non-invasion physician she directed me to the neurosurgeon for surgery due to the image of my C5-C6. They both addressed the need for surgery "necessary to protect you from paralysis or worse if you fall or are in an accident." I agree with you - serius approach to self-help and manipulations of associated muscles may be better, while it lasts, then surgery, when in my case, I was not in significant pain.
