    Thank you Sir. You really are my hero in all this.

    I have the shoulder dr saying it’s your spine and the spine dr saying it’s your shoulders.
    I asked the dr who did the guided injection – will my tendon tears heal on their own?
    He said, “No, never”
    So I said well they should be helping me then, operating to fix them.
    He said, “They won’t operate as you are not bad enough yet.”

    I said well I can hardly do anything due to pain and symptoms, isn’t that bad enough!

    The scans showed bone spurs in my shoulders, so I don’t see how the spine could cause those.

    Would you agree that the shoulder can cause falls, by trapping blood flow to my head? As since these guided injections at least the falls stopped, I haven’t had those any more, so it’s nice not to have needed ambulances out to pick me up of the floor and take me to A&E.

    How do they fix the tendons tears if they do operate? I am scared they won’t help me and I’ll be left unable to use my arm.

    Well, after I had a mri scan that showed c6, c7 nerve compression and severe Stenosis, then my Neurosurgeon writes on his report No nerve compression in her spine and no Stenosis I think I need a solicitor!
    I have complained to the hospital and they just say 7 Neurosurgeons looked at my scan at a meeting and they all agreed there is nothing surgery can help with in my spine.
    Well, I feel like sending them all a pair of new spectacles/glasses and asking them if they can read? Haha!!
    They seem hopeless. I feel they are lying. Horrible to say but that’s how I feel.

    “C5-C6 Bilateral foraminal Stenosis, moderate on left and severe on right with compression of the exciting right C6 nerve root.
    C6-C7 – …with severe bilateral foraminal stenosis resulting in compression of the exciting C7 nerve roots”.

    If you have radicular symptoms in the C6 or C7 roots and your report states “Severe foraminal stenosis”, that is an indication for surgical treatment.

    Thank you Sir.
    Well, when this scan was done the reason was my right arm had stopped working, I had tilted my head to the left and my neck cracked on the right, then right arm stopped working. so they said at A&E it is your spine, sent me for urgent mri and then sent me to Neurosurgeons who said: See how you get on. They just left it. I did get use of my arm back after afew weeks but I still have myelopathy signs around thumbs, on top of my hands above thumbs you can see the sinking where muscle used to be, and thumb muscles on the palm side of my hands have wasted alittle; oh and sometimes I drop things. I get the sweating from neck too. I have a tendon problem on left hand, tendon has swollen and I am going for an injection in that next month. If I try to do anything like cleaning the house, carrying shopping my shoulders hurt and go rock hard, tight. But I don’t know if that is coming from spine or shoulder impingement that I have in both shoulders. I have alot of pain in Rotator cuffs.
