I'll post an image of my cervical region. I haven't been able to work due to pain since the desk job July 2011 and began requiring a cane January 2011 from the sitting. (I had to stand up, squat, sit like every 15 mins, but I stuck it out. The pain seriously affected my focus.
All the doctors / specialists are deeply concerned about the cervical region due to 4 levels deformity my spinal cord and 2 that are compressing / pinching my nerve roots causing radiculopathy in both arms.... (had an EMG, NCS although wad botched due to a spontaneous approval, I had 2 energy drinks and cup of coffee just before the emg/ncs.
The neurologists and neurosurgeons are concerned due to potential quadraplegia. (Informed that a fall or accident would set me up being paralyzed from the neck down.)
The image attached shows the cervical spinal stenosis. I get severe cervico-genic headaches 3 to 4 times a week and nothing alleviates the pain. They even wake me up from a dead sleep.
