Cervical SCI and fusion issues

Have you or do you see a neurologist on a regular basis? It sounds like you still have nerve issues in your neck. I have had the same symptoms for the past year without the total paralysis issues. My whole body went numb during a heavy weight lifting workout 1 year ago. I was convinced I had ALS for 4 months before some symptoms started to slowly let up. I started feeling so good after 8 months that I went back to my baseball team and played 2 games at the end of the season. I then started practicing every other day to prepare for a tournament in October. Then bam! all of my symptoms returned and I had to stop playing. I am finally feeling better again, and I have an appointment to be tested for thoracic outlet syndrome next week.
Do you have any fatigue when your symptoms come back? I have the buzzing, tinnitus, and verigo, but I also have tiredness and brain fog.

Hang in there. Nerves take a long time to heal. I wish I could give you hope for answers from doctors, but I’ve seen 2 neurologist, 2 neurosurgeons, a rheumatologist, an endocrinologist, an ENT, and of course my primary a few times. Plus went to ER twice when this started. No real answers. I like to say the central nervous systom is like the bottom of the ocean for our medical experts.

Oh and yes I have fatigue and brain fog as well. Both pretty vague symptoms though so whether it’s due to my job, my mental health, or my spinal cord, I’m just not sure. Chronic pain man. What a dick.
