Thank you and good for you. I too have seen multiple doctors here in Des Moines and not impressed with many of them. My neighbor just had his neck fused in December and said it was life changing. Mayo will be the last opinion I get as I need something done. The pain and degrading of motor skills is too much. Been dealing with this for 10 plus years. If mayo wants to just fuse the c spine then I'll probably have it done locally.
Thanks for the info
Matt

Hello Matt,
Had an MRI several months back.
MRI should moderate/severe stenosis C1-C7.
Spinal canal looks fine, its the nerve openings pinching nerves creating issues, weakness, tingling especially right arm/wrist.
Wanted to ask regarding your motor skills, what exactly did you mean ?
I feel my dizziness and lack of balance has been brought on by my stenosis diagnosis.
But my primary care Doctor is telling, absolutely no way (reason for me asking).
Thank You, Oly
