Degenerative Disc Disease

I have had neck surgery twice. Both times there was pieces of disc fragments down near my shoulder blades, so I really didn't have a choice. My first surgery was I was in my 30's. I was 47 for my 2nd and it has been a lot harder on me this time, but I feel better and I go back t work next Monday. I'm a pipe insulator and I really twist and turn my neck a lot. I'm really interested to see how my neck holds up.
