Suggest Effective Treatment For Disc Herniation Causing Tingling Sensation In Face
What treatment is commonly recommended for herniation of C2-3 & C3-4? I have already had cervical surgery at levels 4-5 & 5-6. :-( I had good range of motion after my second surgery but now it is limited due to the pain I ve been experiencing. I have been also experiencing weird sensations of my face and head. Tingling, feels swollen but doesn t look swollen and my gets incredibly hard to keep open, even though I don t feel tired. Could the herniation so be causing these odd sensations.
