Hi Jennifer, I met with Dr Paul Celestre at Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. He reviewed my X-rays, MRI, and examined me. My two worst levels were C5-C6, and C6-C7. His opinion was that I do not require surgery at this time. He added that there were surgeons who would perform a fusion based on the imaging, but again he advised no surgery at this time, with physical therapy, and follow up MRI in about a year. I questioned the need for PT, and he responded that it could help with balance. I have not yet scheduled PT. I’m not in any pain. I still have some positional hand numbness. I guess I’ll give PT a try and reevaluate in a year, or sooner in my symptoms worsen. Thank you for your interest, Doug.
