I recently got an MRI and was diagnosed with a cervical herniated disc. There is not much pain. But, there is numbness and tingling in the right thumb. Also, there is a tension in my shoulders, along with other symptoms. It has been about 3 months since I am going through this.

The doctor told that this hernia is not that big. But, it is becoming worse each day. Typing seems to make it worse as well, but I need to type a lot for my job.

For people who have had this condition, how long did it take for you to get back to health? Did you do anything on your own besides rest which seemed to help? My friend suggested visiting chiropractic center in Mississauga. I'm currently taking hot baths and doing a lot of stretching. I have also worked on the posture. But nothing seems to make the symptoms better and I'm getting rather frustrated.
