I'm 37 years old & was just diagnosed with cervical stenosis. I've had problems with neck & back since early 20's'
I've tried physical therapy twice & it did help· I also have degenerative disc disease with c67 herniated & bone spur
& my neck curve is completely backward from a healthy neck , ortho says surgery is needed soon, I've been having strange things,lately like my ankles & feet jerking abruptly just once while resting also once on ny head and once my whole torso jerked quickly I'm also having extreme pain & heaviness in my legs very stiff & nerve pain all over body
So a lot going on I go next with to see Neuro and seek second opinion I'm very scared of the future I'm having pain all day worse after work meds don't help much question if I have the ACDF with decompression is their a chance I could get worse I have lost strength in all limbs even nerve pain in genital area occasionally I work full time have 2 kids after working &standing all day I'm done can't do much from pain I'm very scared that once they do surgery I could loose more strength or get worse does that happen
