Unstable C-spine: C2-C3 with 3 hitting my hardware from C4-6
Ortho said 12-1-10 that my C-2 and C-3 are unstable. C3 is actually hitting the plate from previous surgery from C4 - C6. Ruptured now from C6 to C7 also. About a month ago turned my head to the rt and neck cracked and immediatly started hurting. Turned it again week later popped very loud causing immediate cervie headache. It is not crepisus (spell?) it is a big snap!
Having lots of pain and cervie headaches and lots of other cervie problems , am having more and more trouble. Bouts of head and neck pain quite frequently.
Basically unable to walk very far from lumbar spine needing surgery in 2 places. You might say spine is a mess all the way down.
My question is does anyone have this problem or had the problem and what is being or was done to help with the cervical issues?
Am considering going to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, GA to check it out with them. Am 68 and wear a hard brace when in the car, shopping or around lots of people to help keep from turning my head.
