I was just diagnosed with Bilateral perineural cysts on C-7 and T-1 and Left perineural cysts on T-1 and T-2, also facet arthropathy at C-2 through C-4 , spurs, and disc disease in my neck. And a bulged disc @ C5-6 and disc space narrowing. I suffer from burning between the shoulder blades, pins and needles sensation all over my body. Sometimes so severe that even a strong breeze across my skin is painful. My neurosurgeon made the comment " You shouldn't be in so much pain with your condition" and promptly dismissed me after spending a whole 5 minutes with me. My family physician now has me on Gabapentin (Neurontin) and Hydrocodone. I'm supposed to take 4 of the hydrocodone daily but currently only taking 1/2 in the Am and half in the PM.. I was told I wasn't a candidate for surgery or epidural shot (already had two). My question is this.. will this condition go away, am I stuck with it for the rest of my life doomed to a daily routine of drugs?
