Both.
The neck issue was scarier because I went all tingly from the neck down and I could have ended up in a scooter, but the disc hurt like my left leg was having a ******g baby!
Anecdote: Once, in my 50s, I got worked up for a positive TB test and the infectious disease doc and I walked down to radiology to try and get a blinded reading of my chest X-ray, viz., from someone who didn’t know about the test result, which was in the order. The man looked at it for 10 seconds and asked if we were interested in the granulomas (TB) or the dramatic spine degeneration, which was literally from stem to stern.
Thanks, I have indeed managed well.
