I had surgery to fuse C4-C7 08/07/2018. After surgery the surgeon told me I have dish. He had to remove large spurs and still have others that make it hard to swallow and just this year I had to start using a cpap machine. I have spurs all through my back that cause near constant pain and even though I have spurs and severe stenosis in my thoracic spine the 2 surgeons I have talked to are not willing to operate on the thorasic.
January of this year I woke up nearly blind in my left eye and the condition is permanent its called NAAION its thought that I may a autoimmune disorder causing these things. Has anyone else heard of dish for instance being related to a autoimmune disorder, my bloodwork is good but I display many physical symtoms.
I tried to get into Mayo, Im 45 years old worried about my health, pain and especially my right eye going blind. Mayo declined my request for appt for some reason yesterday. Does anyone have some insight on getting seen at Mayo?
