ich bin ein neues Mitglied hier, and wollte erstens Entschuldigen für meine Deutsch. Ich bin nicht ein Deutscher und lebe nicht in Deutschland; hoffe daß ich in Englisch einige Fragen stellen könnte. Sie können mir in Deutsch posten/antworten, ich verstehe es aber spreche es nicht so gut (jetzt

My girlfriend (she does not speak german and her english is also not so good) has been diagnosed with disk protrusion in C5-C6, and the disk is pressing on the nerve root. MR scan and EMNG scan confirm this. She is feeling pain in the arms and shoulder (radiculopathy), numbness in the left hand, and pain in the lower legs (there is also a mild protrusion in L4-L5).

So far we tried to treat this with conservative therapy, magnetotherapy, electric current therapy, exercising, but without results. The problem is present for 8 months now. We even tried with some alternative therapy, however the results were not satisfactory. She has a PC-job, sitting the better part of the day, and signs of degenerative disc disease.
I know there are other approaches in treating this condition. I have been reading your posts here and since a surgical treatment might become the only solution (as we were not successful in treating the pain so far), I would like to ask those of you who had an operation on neck-spine (HWS): what are your experiences, where have you done the procedure, which condition you had, which type of operation (minimal invasive, laser, etc.), has the disc been removed completely or partially, your post-OP experiences, etc.
Can you recommend a clinic, I see that there are many Spine clinics in Muenchen, and some in other cities.
Danke an allen fur Ihren Antworte, ich wünsche Ihnen ein schönen guten Tag!

Grüßen,
