Hi Everyone,
It's Roz, glad I found you. I hope your pain levels are down. I had a CT and MRI of my Cervical spine. I believe I have what's called a Double Crush Injury. At the C5-6 my disc is hitting the spinal cord. I think it's causing numbness down my arms. Has anyone else had this problem. Hugs and Love to all of you, Roz |

Hi ROZ aka buckwheat-
is that from the little rascals??? or the grain? or your pillow? LOL I don't recall anyone specifically mentioning the disc hitting the cord but some have C spine problems along with TOS. I have the osteophytes & something at C4/5/6 - but not symptomatic from those at all {YET} So are you needing to have a surgery for yours? or still in the investigating stage? nice to see ya j55 |

a few years ago I had the same diagnosis. c5,6
The disc was encroaching on the nerves that go through the foramin and so on. The doc said I had radiculopathy that followed a dermatome pattern so I had epidurals (3). Turns out it was the TOS and RSD, not the disc causing the problems. Most of us are walking around with an asymptomatic buldging disc. Love, Hope |

Hi Dawn,
I hope your pain levels are not in the upper range right now. Hi Jo, A dear friend used to call me buckwheat several years ago, it was from the little rasculs show. My MRI and CT scan shows the C4-5, 5-6, 6-7 on the right side where I had my fall which started this whole ordeal. Just the 5-6 on the left. Hi Mark, I had a M.D. appointment last week he mentioned that surgery was probally inevitable this was just a family Doc. that stated that. I see my Neuro. tomorrow. Who is very wise, even with RSD. I really hope the Epidurals will hold me out for a month anyway. But from the looks of the CT and MRI I need surgery. Big Hugs, Roz |
