text: If there is any possibility, stay without a surgery. You will have more problems later...\n\nActually there is a solution - go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The pressure on your spine will be reduced (better distributed), the your disc can recover completely. The effect is really amazing.\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. Once in a lifetime, it's really worth travelling far.
