Just a follow up, I received my MRI results today confirming my existing stenosis and then some. I had my fusion in 2017, been flaring ever since (I’m not joking) levels 3/4 and 4/5 and today was told moderate cervical canal stenosis in 5/6 and 6/7 as well. Referral to neurosurgeon for eval. My insurance denied me more PT, I take no pain meds but could use one or two these days, Friday my EMG will determine if I have nerve damage. I’ve been on a cane for about 4 months, something is damaged.

ugh these auto immures are nuts what they can do to our bodies

My doctor never referred to my narrowing and pressure of my nerves by that term. It became so bad I've agreed to surgery. Nothing else helped. It just got bad enough for me to agree to go ahead with surgery on my neck.

I’m still dealing with it Lilly. My doctor has been doing everything and trying everything. I was in Aquatherapy for a year and half and loved it but my insurance stopped it. Now I do what I can to stretch but it’s not the same. I now walk with a cane all the time. My doctor just prescribed a daily dose of Prednisone starting immediately because I'm getting worse.

Not really a positive response to you sorry 😞💕

Radiculopathy describes a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column.

I do. 😞
