Hi Dan,

Sorry to hear what you're going through. It is certainly worth running down any possible causes of your symptoms. If there is a mechanical cause a wait and see if it worsens approach isn't always best. I wanted to clarify your work-up. When you say spine and brain x-ray did they do an MRI or CT? and the neural speed thing at the neurologist, was that an EMG or nerve conduction study? If you have not had these tests done they may contribute helpful information. If I had your history I would certainly want to 100% rule out any radiculopathy, compression or cysts that need treatment. You might consider a visit to a spine surgeon for further work-up or rule out. They might be more "mechanically" minded than your neuro.

Your English is stellar by the way...

I hope you find relief and healing soon, LP
