I have peripheral neuropathy . I had a MRI & it shows I have disk herniation & spondylolisthesis.
In the neck I have spondylolisthesis of c-4 &5. Do you think if I have surgery it will help with the terrible chronic pain I am experiencing?

Hi @tigreyes2004, I don't think anyone on Connect can really answer your question since we are not doctors or medical professionals and can only share our experiences. Does your doctor or surgeon think surgery will help with the chronic pain you are experiencing?

Have you ever looked into Myofascial Release Therapy to see if that might offer some relief for the pain? There is another discussion and a really good video that explains it at the top of the discussion here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/247117/
