Fingers Crossed

Well the pain management doctor is finally confident that he's found the exact nerve in my neck that's causing my pain, so the next step is to "disable" that nerve so it cannot send pain signals to my brain. This procedure should hopefully provide me with close to a year of pain relief, during which time I will be working on strengthening and rehabilitating my neck in hopes of preventing the pain from returning.
Here is an article that explains the procedure: http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article2816.html

I can't wait until I can ride my bike again!!
