Hello I am desperately searching for my help to my problems. A lot sounds familiar to me what you are discussing. Is it possible you could tell me what doctor and where you went to get help. Did your symptoms progress over time? Any help I would be so grateful!

@tfirzlaff I was having symptoms related to cervical spinal cord compression causing weakness in my arms, and pain all over my body.

The first step if you think that you also have a spine problem would be to discuss this with your primary care physician. They will likely order imaging such as MRI, and that would show if there are spine structural issues. You would need imaging like that and/or spine x-rays or CT scans if you wanted to request an appointment at Mayo which is where I had my surgery. My issues were a bit tricky and the real diagnosis was missed by all the surgeons I saw before I came to Mayo and had surgery with Dr. Jeremy Fogelson.

I tracked my symptoms on body diagrams and they did progress over time and got worse as the bone spurs causing the issues were expanding. I also kept track of what movements or body positions caused the symptoms.

If you wish to be seen at Mayo, you would need to have health insurance they accept which you can check at https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/billing-insurance and it's a good idea to call to verify.

What symptoms are you having that concern you?
