Well I have been newly diagnosed with cervical stenosis. Certainly the web is an
informative place.Well I have to admit scary place. I first learned of it when I
went to the walk-in clinic complaining of arm numbness and dizziness. It took
them about 15 minutes of questions and initial touch you nose kind of tests and
they call an ambulance. They wanted to rule out heart. I kept telling them I
think it's just a pinched nerve. I have a "bad neck" anyway. Well they did a CAT
scan and told me I have severe cervical stenosis. They referred me to a
neurosurgeon. By the second day my left leg was going feeling very heavy./ It
made it hard to walk. And the dizziness is persistent. First visit she said it
look like I have been in a accident many years ago. Nope... Well the problem
area are the C5/C6 joints. Last weekend I had my MRI. They even gave me a copy
to look at on my own computer. Tomorrow I have EMG. Wish me luck!!
