So this is the main one that I see , contacts cord L side..
Has a spinal surgeon seen the images & report?
Do you do repetitive tasks or desk job that might cause added arm pain?

The neurosurgeon told me today that my MRI scan is "normal for a woman my age that has arthritis" and that there's "... nothing I see that worries me."
Then he tells me that I need to go see a neurologist. Because a neurologist deals with nerves, that he is a "neurosurgeon".
I left with no answers, more questions and was briskly shown out the door in shock,not knowing if I should be upset or angry or insulted.. So, now I feel like a complete fool for bothering this important man with my insignificant concerns about losing the feeling in my arms, legs and chest. I have decided that I will just live with what is happening to me and attempt to come to terms with the fact that either my insurance isn't good enough or my pockets aren't deep enough or something else needs to happen like losing the ability to walk before anyone will do anything. Thank you for your time.
