Re: [Cervical_Spondylosis] Recently diagnosed

Welcome Paula.
I am an old hand at this going on 11 years now. I had a lamonectomy, and fusion already, and not to be discouraging , but for me not much has helped, I have learned to live with it though. Some days are bad, some are good. I'm still walking most all the time without assistance. I just need to be careful on stairs, and uneven surfaces. My left side is really off, but praise God! I could be in worst shape. I manage a very small part time job, and I am very active in other ways. Your life becomes different, but life is what you make it. At least people who suffer like we do can actually say that we are beginning to understand what Job went through, and by learning from him we can give all praise and thanks to God, because He knows what he is doing. So keep us all informed, and let us know what you would like us to pray for in your behalf. God bless, Gloria

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...
