Hello dr. Corenman,
I went to my follow up with the PA yesterday, I won’t go into the disappointment with their office perpetration and or attaining information, however the pa found the MRI report and indicated that spinal stenosis was pretty significant, degenerative disks have pinched off the nerve and they can temporarily provide pain relief with epidermal but he would need to get an RMG to determine the extent of nerve damage and refer me to a cervical ortho surgeon an neurologist for the fainting. Then he did a cortisone injection into my shoulder to rule out pain from my deprecated ac joint. Although he said it is more than likely the weakness in my neck cause a weakening in my shoulder as well. Your thoughts on how I can get back to running and working out???
