What Is The Treatment For A Bruise In The Cervical Spine?
My brother had cervical spine surgery 4 y ago ~ then, lumbar surgery 8 months ago. Lumbar area is doing well, but MRI of cervical spine shows a bruise & surgeon recommends "complete disability" d/t cervical bruise ~ he had been asymptomatic prior to that surgery. Please offer insight! Thank you.

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that his symptoms could be related to cervical myelopathy.
I would like to directly review his cervical MRI results in order to be able to give a more professional opinion.
Meanwhile, I would recommend holding a cervical collar in order to help maintain the cervical column stability and reduce further damage to the spinal cord.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
