Well, I'm shocked to be honest. I was SURE he would be more concerned with C5-7 since you had SEVERE issues there.

At C7-7 the only thing the radiologist noted was a broad based herniation with hooking bone spurs and MODERATE foraminal stenosis on the right. So he MUST have missed something!

I think I'd get another opinion before I'd go ahead with the surgery, Ber. I'm serious!!! PLEASE get another opinion!!! These SEVERE issues at C5-7 SHOULD NOT be overlooked!!!

Best of luck and let us know what happens. Hugs, Lee
