I have no arm pain just tender c7 in the middle, it’s symmetrical both side feel the same. I think it’s actually a muscle problem. Glad I watched this because I can’t have either of these.

I was diagnosed with moderate myelopathy 5 months ago. Upper body seems unaffected ,but feels like I'm on a trampoline when I walk and trying to run is very awkward.

How is this being treated?

[@tommccormick9290]

Since I'm still working, it's being monitored. Surgeon advised to notify if symptoms worsen. May have corrective surgery soon.

Please clarify why Hyporeflexia and hypotonia are associated with LMNL and hyperreflexia and hypertonia are associated with UMNL .. kindly describe the mechanism... Huge confusion 😕

[@JodyLeeSchroeder]

hypo reflexia is a confirmation of LMNL because it is peripheral nerve being trapped and reducing signal to the muscle .. hyper reflexia is UMNL and is associated with CNS loss of conduction - i.e your long tracts - corticospinal and your peripheral nerves are unaffected therefor allowing reflex conduction to be maintained , however through CNS interference natural inhibition of reflex is lost thus making it hyper reflexive

Case study: M, 75 y, non-diabetic complains of left middle & ring fingers severe pain at night before to sleep and patient needs to hold them with force and after an hour it reduces and allows to sleep. Please suggest your opinion

[@JodyLeeSchroeder]

drs cant just suggest buddy = tests need to be done along with comprehensive history taking to even begin to start to rule things in and out and have differentials

[@rozcindylove4583]

I like the way you explain but what do you mean on one side? Both my hands are numb... on and off I also have dizziness that makes me vomit. I got told it was likely to this by the spinal surgeon . Ive been left a year. I honestly think hes forgot but all the time my cells are dying. By forgot i mean he has sent me to neurology for dizziness upon an email reminder to him a yr later and in his referral he never even mentioned this. He gave me an injection of steroids into my neck saying it was diagnostic in preperation for surgery. I never got surgery and his letter says Ive done all i can do. I sway like on a ship and i drop things constantly. He said my bones formed wrong as a teen no one else has stated this as a cause. Im NHS in private hospital. I think he just doesnt want to operate for free after all. I saw the MRI you didnt need to be a radiologist. You could see it. Cord was fat everywhere else and thin there. What do you make of this?

[@arup5343]

I have L5 S1 Disc Herniation and Tailbone Pain since 10 years I am not able to sit properly or stand for long hours. Hence I cannot work and become unemployed. But Doctors do not suggest Spine Surgery for Correcting Spine disorder and Suggest Physiotheraphy and excercises for Treatment in India. I am Frustated Don't know what to do. Voluntary Euthanasia is not available in India Too. I am stuck. Do these Test for Spine Disorder actually work? Then why my Spine Disability is considered minor and Surgery is not done to rectify it?

[@AashishmJogi]

Arup I ve a chronic spine issues too. Can I know what are your symptoms 😢😢

[@arup5343]

@@AashishmJogi constant pain at back and buttock area not able to sit for long hours. Doctor suggested not go for Tailbone Removal and Spine fusion Surgery as it will not solve the problem.

[@AashishmJogi]
