The process of the body trying to protect started growing soft tissue in Cervix vertebrae 1 & 2 pushing on Spinal-chord. Was losing hand, foot, leg & arm function. Long & short they cut some bone out to relieve pressure @ C1 & C2 & fused to lower vertebrae. Symptoms subsiding slowly but steadily & looking forward to being back in the game in 6 months to a year.
Best to u all

Just one more reason football should be outlawed! It's nothing but modern gladiator warfare. The whole idea is to inflict pain and injury on your opponent so you can gain possession of that lop-sided ball. Then, as you say, years later you are all stove up, and for what?! Sure glad I was a gearhead and bookworm instead of a jock!
