Thank you for your reply. My pcd did say is is mostly lumbar that causes the incontance, but he didn't rule out the possibility that it is cervical issue. I am facing a new neuro on tuesday. I never followed up with a neuro as the first was such a disaster. I just lived with pain control, which isn't really that good. Now I have to make decision on alot more surgery. I want to go into that apt. armed with knowledge.. Asking questions about my CT. Scan. I will be hanging out here this weekend to gather strength for those who have gone before me and gotten through it. I am not a good patient and emotional about it all. please do thread back if you care to. Ginnie
