28 weeks pregnant - cervical disc herniation

[Suzie0224]

I am 28 weeks pregnant and I herniated a disc in my neck about a week ago.  I have been completely worthless for more than a week.  I have shooting pain down my left arm all day and all night.  I have limited motion in my neck. Has anyone had or known anyone with a similar situation?  I know that if I weren't pregnant, I would have xrays, an mri, a steriod dose pak, muscle relaxers and probably codine of some sort.  A chiropractor took a look at me and won't touch my neck because one of the tests he did shot pain through both arms which is indicitive of the disc pushing against the spinal cord.  I am an ex athlete with a rather high pain tolerance and I am in so much pain.  I also have acupuncture once a week.  I am desperate...

I am now 29 weeks.  I got an MRI today and found out that I have 2 severely herniated discs.  I am going in tomorrow for a surgical consult.  I am terrified.  This is really scary and I can't find any info about doing a discectomy and fusion on a third trimester patient.
