Have you had MRI of your cervical spine and reviewed the report in detail yourself? Your symptoms sound like cervical spondylitic myelopathy (spinal cord flattening/compression injury). I have this.

Did you have MRIs of your brain and lumbar spine? Have you seen an orthopedic spine specialist to review your current symptoms? My neurologist did a lot of testing but not treatment. It took me over 5 years and many doctors to finally get diagnosed with myelopathy and my surgeon recommended surgery asap to stop the progression of myelopathy spinal cord injury (had bone spurs and disc bulges due to degenerative disc disease at c5-c6 level). I have a new herniated disc at c6-c7 and need surgery in the next few months. It causes many symptoms below my neck, including bladder control issues. I am a 55 year old female but my body feels like 85 many days. This also causes me arm/hand pain/weakness and I drop things.

I will have to have my neurologist look into it to see if they have done one on my spine
