Whenever the spinal cord is compressed, it will cause symptoms all over the body.
What is your doctor going to do about it? Is this doctor a Neurosurgeon or is it just your GP?? Have you seen a Neurosurgeon?
I have had burning, tingling & numbness due to herniations, but I have NOT had spinal cord compressions. Mine was due to nerve compressions. Yours is a bit more serious!
What is your doctors plan for you? Let us know, ok? Hugs, Lee
