Road maps can be purchased at any petrol station, drugstore, supermarket, discount retailer (WalMart or Target)-- easy to find and not expensive. And yes, KSC is an easy day trip from Orlando -- the Bee Line Expressway is a straight shot - it's toll, but easy peasy.
Most cervical disk syndromes are caused by injuries that involve hyperextension. Edema usually occurs in all cases of cervical disk syndrome. Pain, the most common symptom, usually emanates from the cervical area but may radiate down the arm to the fingers and increase with cervical motion.
When a disc in the spine is traumatized by any injury to the neck or back, the disc becomes weakened and can bulge or protrude into the spinal canal. The bulge can occur in the neck (known as a cervical bulging disc), mid-back (thoracic bulging disc) or lower back (lumbar bulging disc). When a disc has a significant protrusion, it can compress a nearby nerve root, which can cause pain at the location of the bulging disc injury along the spine.
