Surgery for a Herniated Disc in the Neck - What Makes You a Candidate?

[@stanlim5318]

Thank you so much for this information. I recently was involved in a bad mountain bike crash three weeks ago. I have a herniated disk in the c4 and c5. I saw a PA for the neurosurgeon three weeks after my crash. He looked at my MRI and CT scan from the NIGHT of the crash and said I needed surgery. I have no pain, only slight numbness that had gotten better over time. He was pretty firm that I needed surgery and told me to continue wearing a neck brace until I see the surgeon. Shouldn't he had waited to be so firm without seeing a current scan? I will seek a second opinion now thanks to your information!
