neck pain question

[blake]

i was just wondering if anyone has the same thing

[blake]

iam reading my mri report it says left lateral spurring c 4 5 with mild left forminal narrowing with post operative changes c 5 6 where i had the fusion

[blake]

then another one says cronic c 7 8 radiculopathy and says this certainly is not normal but then it says the nuero sees no further surgery seems needed

[Bad Boy Bad Boy]

Blake when you write C7 8;

Just how exact is that written in the report.

C7 is a vertabre;

C8 is a Nerve;

See my point?

[blake]

its written c 4-5

Blake you wrote this;

From all I have been reading back and forth between you (Blake) and Bad boy I think it is best that you bring your results to the doctor with you to your next visit and ask that the doctor goes over your results with you and tells you what he thinks of what the radiologist wrote about your MRI and what they plan on doing about your pain. Bad boy has given you alot of good information but cannot really tell you what exactly is going to be YOUR treatment to get you better without being your treating doctor. Are they having you go to PT?

If you are still in alot of pain you may want to consider going to a pain management clinic where you can have them control your pain with certain treatments. There is alot of good places that have therapist that deal with chronic pain and how to deal with it on a day to day basis. I use to be in one and started going to a new pain management place last week. I just got a MRI done yesterday on my neck and I am giving this place a chance to find out what is wrong with me and if it does not help me I will be moving onto another place for another opinion. Good luck.
