Yes he does deserve hugs. Orthopedic surgeon determined ... that a lot of it (the pain he is in and his spinal column) is age generated degeneration of disc cartilage, plus also a herniated cervical disc aggravating a nerve.
Therefore giving pain down the arm. As there is no numbness in my hand, it is not an immediate surgery case.
We will try physical therapy first, which he thinks will take care of the problem, if not an epidural into the affected area.
I had that pain management shot into my spine in 2005. No fun.
