@rnlorena I chose my spine surgeon after doing a lot of research and reading any medical publications they authored and anything I can find online such as speaking and teaching at spine conferences. Generally, I think it’s best to play dumb and not use correct medical terminology because they may think you are reading online and diagnosing yourself. My PT says let the surgeon be the brain in the room. I had used correct terminology with a specialist and he refused to help. I also scared him out of it with my body map pain drawings because I had pain everywhere from cervical stenosis. That is what most of them missed because they didn’t connect my symptoms to funicular pain. I found medical case literature that was similar to my situation and with that in hand, I approached a doctor at Mayo who was familiar with that condition. If you consider traveling to Mayo. My surgeon, Jeremy Fogelson, would be a good consultant. I think it helps get accepted at Mayo when your specialists can’t figure out the problem and I think that is what you’re experiencing. Let me know what your next consultation brings to the table.
