Just wanted to know how other people cope with the stiffness..and headaches,racing after having cervical(neck)surgery? I have 4 consecutive disc fusions,3 fused in September,2010. I hate having to take pain meds...compromising my liver in the process! My wife thinks I should give up racing alltogether..even though I only get out a few times a year. I told her "No way,I'll just have to deal with it!" Any suggestions..besides giving up racing,are welcome! Thanks in advance! Randy B. BTW...I do wear a RJS neck brace.
