question: I am a RN working in ICU, lots of heavy pt, lifting, turning, etc. I had a discectomy c6,c7 in june 2012. seems like i aggravate my neck area doing type of work i do cuz i have to walk around with ice packs on my neck and lower back to relieve the symptoms. my biggest concern is the numbness and tingling i get in my fingers. if i don t take the naprosyn 500mg po (plus before sleeping i take flexeril), and ice, the pain and tingling is as bad as before the surgery. I can t quit my job and i can t ask for light duty. i need to pay my bills. why does the ice relief the symptoms so well and am i in danger of anything by continuing working in this way? thank you.
