Hi Terry,

Thanks for your reply.

I already saw a neurologist who told me that I have cervicalgia possibly.
He sent me to the public hospital here in Melbourne AUS to check whether I had cervical stenosis or not. They did a CT scan of my neck but I am not sure if this would show the whole picture. I was hoping for CT with contrast or even an MRI.

The spasms have started 3 weeks ago. I have had this spinal condition as of August 2022 but it has been progressively getting worse. I used to ride road bikes for 20 years. I used to ride long distances. In the last 10 years I was hit 3 times by negligent drivers despite riding in the bike lane: 2013, 2015, 2019. These accidents caused massive whiplash, fractures and other injuries.
I recovered each time but since last year the pain has started to make my life quite unbearable.

Next week my new pain management doctor will perform nerve blocks at:
Left CERVICAL C4/5, C5/6, C6/7 Medial Branch Block

I also have several pinched nerves at C4, C5, C6, C7, C8.
C6 and C7 are the worse.

These spasms start to occur when I lye down of the bed at night. For example I woke up at 5 am this morning and felt that the left hand side of the neck was getting tighter and tighter.

I normally sleep on my right side because I can't lye down on my left or my back because the pain is worse.

To make things worse I have:

C6/7 facet joint, left thoracic T2/3 and right T5/6 pain
Central lower back pain and possibly left-sided sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Right L2-L3, L3-L4 nerve inpingment.

I am a total mess.

Is there a neurosurgeon that could possibly fix all these issues?

My life is hell daily despite taking pain medication.

Best regards

Alfred
