My 48-year-old son had a cervical spinal cord injury at C6 in 2018. In 2021 he developed severe chronic neuropathic pain below his injury level. Doctors tried epidural steroid injections, two spinal cord stimulators, trigger point injections, nothing helped. 2021 he underwent a laminoplasty from c4-T2. When he awoke he was paralyzed below his shoulders, both arms numb and lost all function in both hands, Pain intensified to 24/7 constant agony. Diagnosed with adhesive Arachnoiditis all the way from c3 to L1. Neuropathic pain so severe he could no longer sit in his wheelchair and has not left his bed in almost 2 years. If you really need the surgery make sure you do your homework and get the best spine surgeon you can find. Dr Scott Falci at the spinal cord injury institute in Englewood Colorado is a very good choice. One of the top neurosurgeons in the country. If your neurosurgeon suggesting a laminoplasty has not told you about the risks of developing adhesive arachnoiditis, I would run run run away....
