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

It was "Great" talking with you today.. I'll keep you posted on my up and coming surgical adventure...
((Hugs))

OMG.... how did you ever come up with a username such as BUCKWHEAT, thats not the important thing. Hows the RSD? ..... hope everything works out well for you with the cervical problems !!!!

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

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
