    Want to clarify something I mistakenly said. Sleeping on your back does not compress the organs, sleeping on your stomach does.

I will seek out the right one now. You are open and informative, but most of all you actually care and your help is so very appreciated. Thank you will keep watching.

    Hi Doc! GREAT video. I have had neck pain all my life. Two years ago, I had a 3 level ACDF. It has helped me tremendously. Of course, I still suffer, but I am no longer falling down! Thanks for all of your wonderful tips. I will be using many of them in my search for added relief. I agree with you that a great pillow and mattress is mandatory. I use a buckwheat pillow and I would fight someone if they tried to steal it from me. 😂

    I have cervical spondylosis & bulging C-5/6, & a good bit of neck arthritis. I have a buckwheat hull pillow (similar to the bamboo mentioned), with a zipper so can add/remove some hulls to my level of comfort. I ordered a medium-sized but it's as big & heavy as a 3 year old toddler lol (I named it George haha)...So.. I ordered a set of zipper travel pillowcases (which are fairly small), & I added my preferred level of the hulls, (be sure to also use an outer "regular" pillowcase to wash with your sheets), this is my pillow. I'm keeping George (which still has plenty of hulls!) to refill as needed because the hulls do eventually deteriorate from use. I adjust it to fit my neck & head, I'm usually a back sleeper but will turn on my side at times & this works perfectly for both. Also, I made myself two "heaties" (my term), made from an old t-shirt (very comfy material!), they are rectangular pillows about 5"×13" I sewed, left a filler slot & filled with regular grain rice (can also add some lavender and other dried plants/herbs for a nice scent), not packed totally full, so they are adjustable/maneuverable, then finished by sewing up/closing the slot . I heat them in the microwave (don't overheat, usually 2-4 minutes is enough, depends on size & density but test for your comfort level, just don't burn them up!), after heating, I turn them back & forth to distribute the heated rice equally, wrap them/roll them up in pillowcases to provide insulation & protection from any burns, plus be able to wash this outer cover. Then I can place them wherever it hurts without risk of burning myself or electrical shock, better than a heating pad & the insulation keeps them warm all night. They're like my little buddies, keeping me snuggly warm & comforting all the hurting places, including my neck on especially painful nights. GREAT for winter, too, as well as kids tummyaches (use caution, never overheat!).

He was good in that he showed me the skull in the back and where my problems stem from. Im sure it’s from looking down at my computer over the years. Like so many Im still in search for the Perfect pillow😢 I’ll check out the bamboo pillow you showed. I also have apnea and cannot get used to all that paraphernalia on my head. If you have any tips on apnea I would really appreciate anything you can recommend. Thank you again for the time you spend offering your extensive advise. 👏👏👏👏

    I have this and unfortunately the tyre for me finally blew (yes I watched that episode too) I have a large disc bulge and nerve root impengment at C7 with spinal cord abutment. It is the worse pain I have ever felt in my life, with the left arm feeling like its slowly dying, constant deep pain and muscle twitching/spasms throughout the shoulder, arm, hand and thumb and first finger. Trying to manage it myself as the wait list is insane to see a specialist over here in Oz. So very grateful for all the tips and correct education you offer us. It has inpowered me to stop being depressed about the pain and start overcoming it and being pro active in fixing it. Thank you 👌🤗

I also have a problem with what do I do with my arms and this pillow is great because it has several ways to address the issues. I had numbness and tingling when I was sleeping on it. I am definitely going to buy another.

    I have actually found sleeping without any pillow or head-prop to be very beneficial.
    I've tried the Face-down type, the "U" Shaped (Just under & cradling my neck) & tempurpedic.
    Nothing worked better than NO PILLOW or SUPPORT whatsoever.
    It's counterintuitive but maybe we are simply socialised to think we need pillows.

    Hello, how are you?
    I have a question. In November I had ACDF C5/C6 & C6/C7. I was diagnosed with myelopathy (with underlying Myelomalacia). I had a follow up MRI last month and it says I still have osteophyte disc bulge complexes pushing on nerve roots as well as foraminal narrowing impinging nerve roots (all moderate to severe (I honestly thought this was all going to be addressed during surgery, but it appears they failed to remove everything). Before surgery for fusion, the narrowing was only classed as minor or moderate in some areas, so this is a concern.
    I also have what you describe as 'military neck'. I have noticed I have been getting some new symptoms due to the nerve root compression and was wondering what your thoughts are on me utilising a small rolled up towel (either just briefly during the day or for sleeping). I have concerns given that my neck has lost it's curve, and also because I have pressure on nerve roots (C5,6 & 7) and because I have had fusion (only 5 months post-op) and I don't want to cause any more problems.
    Is it possible to slowly get the curve back by using a rolled up towel and would you suggest this be a good option for me as I worry about causing more strain and damage?
    Thanks so much for your time Dr :-)
