Myelopathy usually refers to pathology a spinal cord injury due to trauma, like an injury. When it's caused by inflammation, it is known as myelitis.

Mine is myelitis, caused the the inflammation of arthritis. The disks in my neck and lower back are so inflamed that they are squeezing the spinal cord. I have numbness in hands and feet but with physical therapy and acupuncture can get some of the numbness to go away and I get a tingling or pins-&-needles feeling. Occupational therapy has helped me learn to function.

I hope that helps. What kind of treatment are you getting? I have to go through physical therapy routines, hot & cold compresses, acupressure, yoga, and occasionally a lot of cussing for up to two hours after I wake up until I'm in safe shape to leave the house, and I don't do it every day. But I have a super support system including a therapy animal, so I'm not alone. I've come here to NeuroTalk hoping to find more support from people like me.

Best wishes,
