I am a nurse but was asymptomatic.I woke up to go to work and found my left leg heavy and weak at the knee.Mri showed narrowing of cervical spine.Surgery done.Failed to walk.He requested more surgery.I refused.I dont believe that i will walk due to all the compression i have in my thoracic spine and i have extensive OPLL and flowing osteophytes on the right side of spine.I dont trust the surgeon.I think he wants to experiment on me because it is a rare condition.Now i truly believe,if anyone has OPLL like me ,they should let nature take its course.Paralysis is inevitable.I know this is hard to accept.I myself did not accept it.I did not know anything about this condition and was helpless as a child.I expected the surgeon to advise me of the risks, but he took advantage of my vulnerability.I regret the surgery.This applied to me but this will certainly not apply to others who have a mild to moderate form of OPLL.I wish the best for those that are going for surgery soon and those that are recovering
