I am a 71 year old U.S. Marine Vietnam combat vet..I am a diabetic, COPD, PTSD, heart disease and a pacemaker...The VA told me I need neck surgery to put the vertebra back in place....However, the VA does not have a neuro surgeon so they have the New Mexico University Medical Center working my particular case. I have a very large lump on the right side of my neck that was misdiagnosed as a tumor. I have aggravating lower back pain and lose periodic mobility in both arms... UNMC has advised a milo-gram and that I am at great risk for any procedure at this point. Do you have any suggestions ???
