The spine surgeon (Dr. Odor in OKC)was brilliant in my estimation...How he stabilized the spine with those 2 plates and 6 screws as he pulled the dislocated vertebrae back into place was the key... Then a few years after that surgery I had pain problems from my neck down one arm... so I returned to him to see what to do... He gave me an epidural ... and after a few days asked if that epidural helped with the pain... IT HAD NOT Helped.... so he said... You have "Cubital Tunnel Syndrome..". that means your "crazy bone" nerve is causing the problem... but He did not do surgery on Arms... (The nerve in the elbow stretched, when I bent my arm ... and the nerve was caught up on something that triggered the pain...) (My words...not his)....So I went to any "arm surgeon"... and told him what I had... Cubital Tunnel Syndrome .... the arm surgeon sent me through a couple tests... and then pronounced that I had "cubital Tunnel Syndrome..."... that surgery opened up the elbow of the arm and moved that "crazy" nerve so when I bent my elbow it no longer stretched that nerve... Problem solved.... Been great in that area since that surgery 20 years ago... Ah the Luck continues... Really smart and capable surgeons fixed the structural situations ...
