Hi all

I was finally diagnosed cervial spondylosis with myelopathy last monday 22nd Feb 2010. This has been ongoing for at least 3 years, have had every test they could throw at me. My neurologist is refering me to a nero surgeon as he says it is severe and surgery is the only answer. I have been on medication for the last 8 months, not doing alot of good, just changed it again see how this goes. My GP has signed me off work for 3 months as I have problems walking. If anyone can give advise re surgery I would be grateful, my problems are with C4/C5, C5/C6 with cord deformed at C4/C5, osteophytes at C5/C6 flattening the cord and protruding disk at T8/9.

Regards

Tony L

    HI Lyn

    Looks like we're both reading from the same page here. Our experiences must be very similar. I've already put up the first 2 pages on Cervical Spondylosis Ruminations page. Be my guest and have a look. I don't really know how to do the linking thing and, to be honest, I don't really want to ramble on too much on a page someone else has started, nor to distract from a topic they have started. I'll discuss the web site option on ruminations page later.

    regards

    Gerry
