Okay fair enough.. But I have had various levels of neck issues in my 63 years.. ranging from plain ole garden variety crick in the neck to full on debilitating pain from a pinched nerve. Never had any kind of surgery for any of them. The only thing I do is remember the neck exercises that the PT gave me 20 years ago. Typically if I do those for about 5 minutes whatever is going on with my neck goes away. If you're old like me you remember they used to make us do all kinds of neck exercises in football practice.. Stuff they aint even allowed to do now.. Made our necks all super strong but probably did irreparable damage to the vertebrae.
