Double Vision & Spinal Stenosis
I have spinal stenosis, and now double vision, and can't get anyone to help me. Neurologist took MRI and neck showed narrowing of cord, also I developed double vision. Eye dr says tale to Neuro and Neuro nurse said go to ER. So that isn't any help. I don't know what to do. Not seeing Neuro dr. again until the 14th of January for an EMG. Then can't see dr. until the 29th of January. I can't stand it and don't know what to do at this point. Asked the nurse to see if I could get therapy on my neck if that could be the problem but no answer so far.

4 ReactionsHi Jennifer, I am having the same issues but Ce-4 level and my cord is mildly compressed. I've been worked up for the past 6 months to rule out ocular myasthenia gravis for the double vision. I had to ask for an MRI of my brain and discovered this when I had to ask for the results. Can you tell me the name if your surgeon, please? I live in the Cleveland area and would like to have an evaluation ASAP, thank you!

2 Reactions@kmcf46 My neurosurgeon is Jeremy Fogelson who is at the Mayo Rochester campus. Here is his bio.

It's likely there will be a wait for an appointment. You may inquire with this link for any of the Mayo campuses. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
