Our Journey Notes:
Yesterday’s appointment: The last MRI and follow-up labs ruled out MS and a few other issues. That was the biggie concern. It does look like some injections to treat the neuro issues and surgery for the cervical spine issues are likely in the future. The injections will help with the neuro issues at C6-C7, but don’t help with the neck pain and shoulder pain. The surgery might help with the neck pain but not completely resolve the neuro issues. – The discs are bulging, not herniated at this point. There was some concern at further damage with some PT and to stop the exercises that might trigger the neuro issues – in other words, don’t move your head in any way that will trigger the pins and needles. Once again, it’s observe for the time being and get an appointment as quickly as possible if changes in grip strength, gait or the muscles in the hand flatten or the tingles become constant. We have a short window to stop the damage from becoming permanent. Another MRI (Lumbar spine) is in the offing to figure out the neuro issues since he’s now walked back quite a bit on his previous thoughts regarding the “crunch” of the cord at C6-C7 being the cause or the lesions a little further up being part of the problem.
