Well, without going thru each level, he gives his impression at the bottom, which is multi-level spondylosis which is: Bone spurs which can cause pain, tingling, numbness, lack of coordination, feeling of fainting, trouble walking, abnormal reflexes, loss of bladder & bowel control, urinary & bowel retention. Plus the spine can be hardened & stiffened by osteoarthritis, sort of like degenerative disc disease.

These are just a list of what CAN happen, not necessarily what WILL happen, so don't freak out. LOL

I'm sorry you're having such trouble. Has he told you how you're going to be treated or what he plans on doing? Are you going to have physical therapy or anything? Let us know what his plans are, ok? God bless and hope to hear from you soon, ((((hugs)))) Lee
