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!!

I wish you lots of luck Linda!! I was new to all of this in 2007 being diagnosed
with both Cervical Stenosis and spondylosis. It is scary when you first learn
everything about it and now as time goes on I am use to the dizziness but just
get frustrated when a new "symptom" pops up .
I have a very good life but sit and remember some of the things I could do just
2 years ago and I can't stop this condition. Please let us know how your tests
go... Good Luck : )
