Default Re: spine reverse

Hello smilylinda,
I am sorry the results of your cervical spine show such trouble. I too reversed the curve of my spine. I would like to put in a word of caution. I oritionally had surgery on C6-7. I was not told there were weak points or other trouble with vertrebre above or below that point. I never received a copy of my MRI or doctors evaluation after the surgery. Six years later, because the reverse of my spine was not corrected the other places in my neck failed. Last year I was fused C3-7, after taking out the old hardware, and redoing the rest of my neck. I hope that you will look in to the condition of all of the spinal cord before you make any decision with a neuro surgeon, and do the homework I failed to do the first time around. I really had no idea that there were more problems in my neck than were told to me. For the second fusion, I did all my homework, regarding MRI's and had a different surgeon. My second surgery was successful, I cannot complain, but it was very difficult to go through. All the corrective measures should have been taken the first time around, as the reversal of the curve of the spine usually involves more than one of the vertrebre. I do wish you all the best in your endeavors to correct your spine. Please do all your homework and I am sure things will turn out oK for you. ginnie
