I m looking for a seasoned neurosurgeon who can take my case ASAP. I have been dx ed with spinal stenosis, cervical arthritis...(fusion necessary ASAP), lower spine arthritis that s causing extreme pain upon standing longer than 5-10 mins. My sciatic nerve is beginning to become irritated while I m walking after sitting. Neuropathy is almost unbearable as are the leg spasms, cramps, etc. I saw the surgeon connected to Franklin Sq Hosp several months ago, was uncomfortable with him but understood when he said the cervical spine was in serious need of surgical correction. I have had a few episodes when I thought the numbness in an arm and leg was not going to dissipate.
