If you’re experiencing severe neck/back pain, I recommend looking into a disc replacement. If you do, err on the side of a disc with limited movement. A simple hinge is more likely to be effective than a high mobility artificial disc that can translate, as well as rotate.
@elonmusk Has been absolute hell recently. May eventually need this.
@elonmusk It says a lot about 2024 that I'm more likely to take medical advice from Elon Musk than the nation's surgeon general, Richard "Rachel" Levine.
@elonmusk From my daughter in neurophysiology: it may be more than disc replacement or disc replacement not necessary. She flies around the country working with top surgeons. Get a couple opinions first.
@elonmusk I aspire to be as chill as this panda.
@elonmusk Disagree with all of this. I’m a youth football coaching legend, and I forced my players to take sensible injections The same is true for back injuries
@elonmusk My first disc surgery was in 1983 by the army. I promise they’ve come a long way since then lol.
