February 6, 2017

My boyfriend had a couples massage on vacation. During which time the massage therapist put a towel under my neck and jerked neck upward. I was in agonizing pain for 3 days until I was able to go home. I had to be pushed in a wheelchair with a neck brace on through the airport to get to our gate. When I got home I went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. 3 months later I was diagnosed with 3 herniated cervical disc' (C4 C5 and C6) A year later, a painful cortisone injection in my spine and life altering changes in behavior and diet to no avail I still suffer daily. I had spinal surgery referred to as Cervical Discectomy and Fusion, now I have a plate in my neck and I suffer from chronic pain everyday for over a year. I've paid for extensive tests, treatments and medications out of pocket while these people continue to go own not knowing they nearly paralyzed me. I'm fed up and in pain so I decided to come out and say something. This is my cautionary tale not to trust anyone with your well being, even so called professionals.
