Surgery always should be last resort. Try neck traction, kinda looks like a noose around your neck and you allow for some reverse gravity to seperate those disks and relieve thee pressure on the nerve. Chiroprator may help too.
I'm guessing you have done the physical therapy? That's been my choice over the years. One of my golf buddies is an orthepedic sugeon (no not the lepricon KB). He always says the PT folks can keep a lot of us out of surgery if we listen to them and do what they say. JMO. Hope you get better soon Spark, I need the help here keeping these guys in line!
My wife is a PT...1/3 of the people listen to what they say...1/3 are in there faking it and trying to get compensation of some sore from someone...and the last 1/3 are in there because they have to but don't listen or do their excercises.
Physical Therapy can be a savior...Chiro doesn't fix the problem it relieves the symptoms...But I'm biased.

" Bryce, you Yankbilly, yes fried okra goes with pizza or anything else."
Okra needs hot weather to grow well. This means that in northern climates you may not have much of a crop some years. The main thing you can do to help is to keep the bed weed free and mulched as much as possible. Watering is only needed occasionaly.
Most varieties will start yielding about 60 days after planting. The flowers are large, pale yellow and fairly ornamental. Each flower blooms for only one day and eventually forms one okra pod. Pick the pods when they are approx. 3 inches in length. Picking the pods while wet may darken the skin, though the taste is not affected. Typically it grows quickly, so you need to harvest every two days or so. The plants can eventually grow quite tall (5 feet or more), but will stop growing as soon as the temperature starts dropping down below 50 degs. (F)
Fried Okra
1 lb. fresh okra, trimmed
3/4 cup Martha White® Self-Rising Corn Meal Mix
Oil or shortening for frying
Directions
1. Cut okra crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. In resealable food storage plastic bag, combine okra and corn meal mix; shake to coat evenly. 2. In large skillet, heat 1/4 inch oil over medium heat to 350°F. Fry okra in hot oil until crisp and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Drain on paper towels
It is my second favorite summertime vegetable after Homegrown Tomatoes. If you need more info on Homegrown Tomatoes click Here.
