Is Surgery Advisable While Suffering From Abnormal Reflexes And Lack Of Coordination?

default
Posted on Tue, 11 Aug 2015
Question: I have a neck that the vertebrae are displaced in the third, fourth and fifth that is causing me aches and sometime a little pain that ibuprofen usually takes care of. I am also having numbness and tingling down both arms and lt leg almost constantly. I have seen a neuro surgeon and has recommended I have surgery. He states that I have decreased, abnormal reflexes and my coordination is off. Should I go ahead and have the surgery, will it help my reflexes and coordination improve.

Brief Answer:
Better to do surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
I think it would be prudent to consider the surgery.
In fact earlier the better.
The more you delay it the less recovery you will have from the symptoms.
So proceed with it.
What's more, you have already tried the conservative treatment so long.
And it has obviously not worked.
So surgery is the answer.
Best of luck.
Dr Mittal.
