I am 50 and have DDD throughout spine and have had ACDF at C5-7, laminectomies with fusion at T3-4, T9-10 and L2-S1. MRIs have noted myelomalacia at C4-5 level due to autofused vertebrae. During ACDF surgeon op notes say no spinal cord softening was noted, but recent MRI notes myelomalacia (no comparison with previous MRI). Over past 3 years have had increasing numbness/tingling/pressure in head/face. It s been treated as chronic migraine (I ve had bad headaches since a teenager). I now have increased numbness pain in neck and throat. Am taking gabapentin, verapamil, venfalaxine, B2, B12 and magnesium. Two years ago I was diagnosed with hypertension. I also have minor weakness in arms and legs as well as shooting pains/tingling in both arms and hands. I can turn my head sideways and up/down, but there is a slight grinding sound and soreness afterwards. And at times the back of my neck is warm to touch. In addition, I sometimes have pain in the middle of my chest that radiates down as well as up to my collar bone area. Could my head and/or other symptoms be related to the myelomalacia? Brain MRI came back normal. Also heart problems were ruled out through several tests including heart cath.
