Thank you for the welcome ! Unfortunately I do know the risk of C1 through C3. Following my C-5 through C-7 fusion ( which took forever to fuse I might add ) yes my life dramatically changed. It took awhile for the acceptance stage to kick in. Yes my initial symptoms remained as well as bonus pain areas following that surgery of 2014. ( first time I’ve been a patient lol ) I can’t count the number of X-rays, MRIs, CTs, EMGs, and the 1 mylogram I had. Or the many PT sessions. The latest CT was just a week ago which showed the C1-C2 issue which had never been on any radiologist report before. I will say the new symptoms began around the first of the year yet I never told my Pvt MD because he would think that either I was a nut or a train wreck lol. Only when the pain became so severe did I ask him could he order the CT with contrast. So I know he’ll refer me out. Until then I’ll just take it a bit easier and do the best I can. Thank you again for the warm reply….David
