Hello, I am 53 years old. 13 months ago I had my 3rd neck surgery. 2007 – ACDF at C5-C6. 2015 – ACDF C4 – C7. 2018 – PCDF C6-C7. I continue to have severe left shoulder pain, left elbow pain and left wrist pain. My last MRI shows “chronic disc space narrowing and Anterolisthesis C7-T1 (4mm), shallow right paracentral disc extrusion T1-T2, mild uncovertebral joint hypertrophy C3-C4 with retrolisthesis and probable mild left neural foraminal narrowing at C6-C7, and the Anterolisthesis at C7-T1 has progressed when compared to previous MRI dated 7/30/2018.
My question is, how concerned should I be about the continuing deterioration of my neck and what can I do to prevent further damage?
