Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Yes, thank you. My husband was told he has a ganglia nerve being compressed by the disks in his neck. This is causing tingling and numbness in his right leg, and often feels hot to him... although cold to the touch. He also has tingling and numbness in his fingers. Other than steroid shots, is there any way he can find more relief other than surgery? And what exactly is a ganglia nerve? Thanks again.
[|AI|]  Hi, I think your husband can be helped by taking manual traction which a physical therapist can help out. Along with it, learn to strengthen the neck muscles as well. It will help maintain the intervertebral disc space. Try even focussing on strengthening the upper limb muscles like triceps, deltoid and biceps. Do focus onto your trapezius muscle too. I am sure your husband will be helped and surgery can be avoided in near future. Thank you
