Thanks.... I had someone new (ie more qualified to say the least) look at my MRI and they indicated "Right Foraminal Stenosis at c6/ c7 and I'm now scheduled for an injection this Friday that he feels will help this.
What is ATOS?
What did YOU do to alleviate the numbness? Wait it out? PT? or did you do an injection? or what else? Trying to determine the likelihood that an injection will fix this up for me for a while/ forever.
I guess everyone is "wired a little differently" and this occasional pain under my arm might also be a "projection" of the pain coming from the c6 / c7 issue?
