In need for some info, recently found a TC
 
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I've just registered becuase I'm looking for a help. Unfortunately, there isn't much to read in my native language and that's how I found your group. I'm 21 yo and few days ago I've got my MRI results. I've got a TC on both sides at C4/C5. I don't suffer from any pain yet, but my left hand has been shaking very hard since I was a kid and that was the reason my doctor sent me to MRI. I would like to know your opinion on two things:
1) I assume that my problem can be caused by the cyst?
2) What scares me more is what I found out later on, after reading some content online. Many people suffer from pain or even partial leg paralysis (although they have the cysts in lower spine). I don't feel any of these yet. Is this temporary? Should I expect that it is going to get worse with the age?
I have a consultation with a neurologist next month, but I don't think I can wait unknowing until then.
Thanks in advance

Hi-
You might want to look up a cervical spine nerve map and C4/C5 nerve root compression.

I have leg symptoms and issues walking/crutching and in my case those are partly related to multiple cysts in the lower back in the lumbar and sacral spine (L4-S4.)

The generally with nerve compression is that the longer it's there, the less likely and longer it will take to recover because nerves grow slowly. But there are always exceptions.
