Hi Rbbie,

I cannot offer you names or advice, but I can sympathise. It sounds as though we have the same level of degeneration, I have 3 Spinal Cord Compressions and C6 Nerve Root Compressions causing excruciating referred pain in arms and numbness in forearms, hands and first 2 fingers/thumb, especially right side.

I also have lower spine problems and have extreme weakness in my left side/legs.

I have just today been informed that my Neurologist has referred me to a Neurosurgeon - a pointless exercise as my heart will not tolerate anaesthetics. Still, I have to go to the appt to be given the options.

Do Post your MRI Results as Jo*mar suggests, it gives fellow Members an insight into the depths of your issues.

Dave.
