Hi everyone,
I am new here and was just diagnosed with cervical spondylosis yesterday. I am 47 with mild cervical spondylosis. I have multiple levels of degeneration going on as well as some stenosis. The week of Sept. 21 I was hospitalized with extreme pain and stroke symptoms. No new stroke and an MRI of the head showed nothing new had occured. They did a cervical epidural and it worked for about a week and a half. My pt guy said that since the epidural worked I probably have some degeneration going on in my neck. So I began to search the internet. I ran across stuff on this condition and showed it to my husband, pt guy and doctor. sounded to them this might be what is going on. So the doc ordered the x-rays for two days ago and ta-dah ....I was right.
I am getting another injection on Wed and see a neuro surgeon on Monday.
 Hoping to learn some things here.
Sincerely a child of the King,
Paula

Thanks Gloria, I appreciate your offer of prayer. Right now I need patience in waiting for pain relief. I haven't had a really good day for awhile. Pain meds...

Hi Paula, I haven't tried an epidural. I did get a nerve block a couple times, but it didn't help. This may sound strange, but for me there is this guy in...
