Jasmine Roth, who's tried to use her health struggles to share positive messages about gratefulness to health professionals and being supportive of one another had similar sentiments to share in her most recent post. The designer and builder who first launched into home construction with her husband Brett Roth when they tackled their own property in Huntington Beach, California, shared, "I know there are other people out there who are going through the same thing and it's important to know you're not alone. So if your pain is a lot or a little, it's valid, it's life altering, and it sucks. Let's rally around each other and celebrate our wins." 

She concluded that Saturday, June 24 was a win for her because it was a day free of pain. She added, "(And I didn't clarify in my last post but I have been in intense PT since January, had a steroid epidural in February, and 2 weeks ago I had stem cells injected. Still being super careful, lots of ice and heat, PT exercises, and rest ... hoping to dodge surgery)."

Herniated disks in the neck, also known as cervical disk herniation, cause discomfort in the form of pain, numbness, and tingling in the shoulders, neck, arms, and hands. While non-surgical treatment that involves medication and exercises is the first form of treatment, a common surgery called anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is also performed if things don't improve.
