Thank you so much for taking the time to review this and explain your concerns. I really appreciate your perspective. I agree that my lumbar imaging from 2022 doesn’t appear to explain the urgency of my current symptoms, which is part of what’s been so frustrating.

Given the progression of my neck symptoms, including the neurologic changes, I do understand why you’re more concerned about cervical involvement now (as am I). Additionally, I am actively pursuing further evaluation to rule out any urgent issues and to better understand the risks of permanent deficits. I have an appointment 1/2 at UF Gainesville, Fl.

I’ll be sure to keep the group updated as I learn more. Thank you again for your thoughtful input.
