Hi everyone

I am looking for advice and information. After 2 years and extensive work ups I finally got a tentative diagnosis this week. My neurologist thinks I have both Cervical spine stenosis and M. S. I will get the complete diagnosis on January 30th. She has already scheduled me to see a nuero-surgeon. I am not ready to just agree to surgery. I did that about two years ago when an orhtopedist told me I needed rotator cuff surgery and that would cure the pain in my upper back. Didn't work I still have as much pain and now I have substantial weakness. I am familiar with M.S. my Mother had it and I care for my daughter who has had it for about 29 years.

Any information on avoiding cervical spine surgery would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mary Sue
