C1-c2 arthritis

Posted by snowmass @snowmass, Dec 22, 2024

Hello
In my search for resolutions to cervical instability, doctor mentioned swelling and arthritis in the cranio cervical area. Web research says it’s hard to treat area let along finding any who will inject the area. The other options presented in the research mentions fusion of the two vertebrae. I am looking into regenerative medicine approach first. I am not able to drive or move about comfortably due to dizziness and pain. Anyone with this experience who can share would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for your input. There is some movement in the area c1 over c2 (2.5 - 3.5 mm) as well as slipping on the flexion. I need further DMX testing to confirm the specifics but my translational BAI was 4mm which he said was also borderline. So all in all there is some instability. PRP/Stem cell to reduce swelling as well as helping with the disc bulge and ligament/muscle laxicty or injury….

I have lower lumbar arthritis, l was told to take Organic Tumeric with Curcumin & Ginger (Amazon), l was sceptical at first, but to my surprise it relieved the stiffness around the spine/pelvis area, l still get some aches and pain but much less. I am not saying this will work for you, but if you don't try you don't get. 1 capsule in the morning and 1 before bed , l also have spinal stenosis (awaiting spinal epidural) but manage that with Tramadol. Merry Xmas!!
