At 37 I had to have a lamanectomy from C3 to C7 inclusive, do to herniated disc that affected my spinal cord. The doctors have made it very clear that there is real nothing left to try, medically.
Presently I can not feel with my hands, no sensation, I have pain from my head to my toes. I have been on every type of pain medication and all stopped working after a while
Now I take Lyrica and and medical marijuana

Hi there John, and welcome to NeuroTalk.

As you're new to the site, I've taken the liberty of opening a welcome thread just for you because I didn't want your post to get lost amongst some-one else's questions and answers.

I'm so sorry to hear about the awful times that you've had with your neck, and as my hubby has similar problems to your's, but in his lumbar spine, I have some idea what you've been going through.

We have a forum on NeuroTalk for Spinal Disorders and as we have quite a large number of members with similar symptoms to your own, I'll give you the direct link so you can check it out. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum22.html

There's also a forum just for those with chronic pain, and here's the link to that forum as well, just incase you haven't found it yet : http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum10.html

Welcome again John. It's good to have you with us.
