Sevier Right C2 and C3 Facet Arthropathy

Posted by joeythompson @joeythompson, 2 days ago

Hello, my MRI just came back with the entitled diagnosis. C2 and C3 damage. The pain is overwhelming. Just wondering if anyone else has this condition and what treatment that I might look into pursuing.

Thank you for any input,

Joey

It sounds like you need to have a neurosurgeon review your MRI and see what they think. I had the disc at the C5-C6 level rupture with very little warning, and it presented just like a heart attack. I ended up in the ER and went through their series of tests only to have them tell me my heart was fine. I ended up having a spinal fusion procedure done at that level about 3 months later.
It sounds like surgery might be your only option to hopefully obtain a permanent solution.
