I will look at my MRI’s again when I get home, I cant remember what all was duagnosed I do remember spinal and cervical stenosis and the bulging cervical disc. I’ve been to surgeon #4 and they all say fusion is healed but won’t look into the new problems. I read all the dr reports, test reports, every website I can research which a lot is Mayo Clinic info. Last surgeon sent me to a hip doctor thinking it’s my hip which seen a little bursitis but nothing causing my pain. Now as I set her my right light leg has a pulsation coming and going and the burning is starting in that leg as well

Bursitis is painful. My recent hip MRI has shown bilateral gluteal tendinapathy and high grade partial hamstring tears. It is hard to walk but told PT will help increase strength and help with healing (have chronic weakness/pain). I am so weakened due to my spinal issues it is causing a domino effect.

I was also told my recent cervical MRI showed no issues and surgery/titanium cage looks good and “no issues” despite my returning symptoms. I need to get updated EMGs to see how my brain/CNS/PNS are communicating signals to my arm/leg muscles which may also show where radiculopathy continues to send neurological signals and symptoms.

Take a look at these nerve maps to see what levels of your spine affect certain body parts/cause symptoms.
