Even as a therapist I am unable to answer my own question. I have been Dx
with a C5-C6 ruptured disc. Sx include numbness in thumb and bicep;
preogressive weakness in right arm, radicular pain in deltoid and supinator,
and sharp pain in axial spine at the level of herniation. I have used some
extension exercises, traction, and ice, along with some traction. Relief is
mostly termporary, and will stay subsided until I try and do some minimal
amount of work with my arm. 2 minutes of moderate work is all that I seem to
be able to use. Or course typing and reading exacerbate the whole thing. The
question I can't answer for myself is can this be remedied with conservative
Rx.
