Cervical stenosis: Leg weakness

Hello- I read your story and it's like reading my life. Same age and same problems. I have numbness from my right knee down the outside of my calf into my foot and toes. I also have burning from my left shoulder down to my elbow. The pain is indescribable. I am currently looking for another surgeon as there is no sense of urgency there. I spoke with his nurse yesterday to let them know the numbness had spread. I was told there is nothing they can do until I see him on the 18th. In the meantime im just supposed to deal with it I guess. My appointment was cancelled due to an emergency surgery. Now I have to wait another 3 weeks for an appointment. I'm at the end of my patience. Thank you for all of the information you provided. I'm glad that you are doing well!

@caral609 I know that waiting can be hard, and then suddenly it's time for the appointment and you try to remember what questions to ask. Have you prepared a list of questions for your consultation?

This is very familiar--similar to what I have. How has it turned out?
