Hello, I am 10 weeks post op now. They ended up doing four lemonectomies and fusion in my cervical spine. Tremendous relief of pressure. I have zero pain. My myelopathy is almost gone and I am working on it in physical therapy. I went from wheelchair to walking in 10 weeks. Still using a rollator but I'm up to 1800 ft a day. I'm also able to go about 100 ft without any assistance at all. This is a miracle, given I was told by two surgeons I would never walk again. Ha! As for my hands, I have been doing occupational therapy and I'm slowly regaining dexterity. I'm able to button shirts for example. The pain and numbness and tingling are reduced, but still present to a degree. They put me on cymbalta for my hands. It's been about 3 days. Hope it works. Hope you find comfort as well.
