I posted my cervical mri below. I have had pain in bottom of scull and pins and needles going up the back of my head for 14 mts. I have had arthritis in my neck for years. The neurosurgeon wants to fuse I think c2 and c3 but he says he doesn't know if this will help with my pain. He wants to do this in the back of my neck. He is concerned I will be paralyzed if I don't get this done. I am 72 and alone. The only exercise I do is walk.
I am to have a flexion xray next appointment. I am in Canada. I can put up with the pain but I cannot take more pain. I am so confused. thanks jinky
