Hi karenlea,

I know and totally understand the pain can me mind numbing!!! I remember before I had acdf surgery on c4 the c7 in 2010---i even went to er and morphine wouldnt touch it. Is any surgery on the table? I know with stenosis is narrowing of the spine and gets worse when we age. Have you seen a neuro or orthopedic spinal surgeon? Im just wondering if your having symptoms of spinal compresssion if fusion may be on the table? Is the back or neck worse? There is a new machine i think its called the DRX 9000 a few friends of mine did it for back and have been suffering over 10 yrs barley can walk I think after 15 or 20 treaments they have been painfree-- one for 3 yrs now. The only problem is I dont think its covered by insurance yet. Im so very sorry your suffering so much but please dont give up there is something out there either surgery or maybe other conservative treament like this decompression machine . I always say seek 2 to 3 consults. I will tell you this I have no regrets from my surgery it gave me my life back . Please feel free to ask as many ? as you may need. Im just very sorry again your suffering right now.
