I have had c5-c6 and l3-l5 done and have some residual symptoms, mostly due to spinal cord compression injury for an extended period of years due to misdiagnosis. I need to have c6-c7 done in May.

Did your spinal cord or nerve roots in your neck/cervical spine get damaged? Were you told you had myelopathy (spinal cord compression injury)?

How long ago did you have your surgeries? Have you had recent MRIs/Xrays of your cervical and lumbar spine and do they show new changes or issues with your surgery sites?

Have you had an EMG/nerve conduction study of upper and lower limbs done by a neurologist?
