Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

rca (@rca)m Ed (@njed)– I also have had umpteen MRIs, each revealing cervical stenosis. I met with a neurosurgeon 18 months ago and he said he could do surgery, but since I had no symptoms that involved my neck or cervical area, surgery wasn't urgent; also, there was a good chance that cervical surgery would have no impact on my lower body PN (poor balance & gait); we'd do a wait-and-see, instead. I checked in with him again only yesterday and he advised – since I've still no cervical symptoms – we continue with the wait-and-see. Locally, he's regarded as a top-notch surgeon, yet his mantra is "The best surgery is no surgery." –Ray (@ray666)

I regret saying anything to this group. Each person is different. I am glad I had the surgeries and I was then pain free.
The numbness was there before the surgeries and it depends how long the nerve has been squeezed. I no longer want to be on this group, it creates much stress and don't share anything with me again. Each one of us has control with do what we went given all the issues and consults with NS. Th
