I had posted above in 2020. In 2022, it was discovered that my cervical spine had multiple levels where there was a LOT of pressure and compression on my spinal cord. Long story short, I had C2 to T3 fused completely on November 3, 2022. Most of my odd symptoms have left after having 2 rods and 27 screws hold my cervical spine straight again! The recovery time for this surgery is anticipated to be one year and I am just at the six month post operative mark at the time of this writing; however, my gait is even, my posture is much more straight, even though my lumbar still has scoliosis; and my speech is even more clear! My doctors told me that the lower spine problems often improve after cervical spine surgery because all brain signals go through the cervical spine and if there are compressions onto the spinal cord, the signals get confused! I hope that this helps others who are struggling with some of the same odd symptoms that I was having! Best wishes!
