    Yes I thought their reports always seem that way, it seems they write reports to make it look as if nothing is wrong, so they don’t have to do anything I feel.
    Our NHS is not good any more. If they can avoid doing something they will. It’s appalling. Thank you Sir.
    Can I ask you please? Would neck compression make my feet numb? and would neck compression cause any flushing up my neck and face? I get overwhelming, severe flushes and a racing heart, is spine doing any of that? I also want to know if my disc has burst is my spine unstable now? Thank you.

    New MRI showed spinal cord compression at C5-6 a burst disc. Is this serious? Do I need surgery?

    I have had lots of weird symptoms over the years, needed ambulances out to me many times. Sometimes it is my heart as I have SVT and A-fib, along with Sinus Tachycardia, but alot of it now I think, is my spine. I get tingling around my knees and down my legs. I get electric strikes as you call them in my lumbar when I am stood up. It will just come on suddenly, stop me in my tracks for a second or two then go again. A sharp pain in lumbar that takes my breath away. Other attacks I have are – I lose all balance sense and fall to left, face goes white on left and sags slightly, face goes red on right as does right ear. I fall over and it lasts afew hours then just goes. Sometimes my A-fib does it, but I wonder if there is some blockage of blood to my head? I had scans years ago for this and they said all was normal but they didn’t scan my head turned I don’t think? I shall have to check that with GP. In 2016 Physio` said I was occluding Vertebral arteries when he did the test – hanging my head over the end of the bed and turning it. But no Dr will ever listen when I tell them because it isn’t written on my records, and they only believe what Drs have put on my records, which i find odd. But recently these past 2 years I have had trouble with arm usage, every time I used my right arm I nearly fainted. We noticed it when I tried to decorate my room so I was using arm alot. My son noticed everytime I used right arm I felt faint, so we went to A&E. I had doppler scans which found inflamed tendons and Bursa, and impingement provocative test on right was positive. But shoulder Dr wouldn’t operate and has since told me in my complaint reply that NHS banned funding for the surgery needed. I have asked NHS if this is true and they say no. So you can see what I am up against. Lots of either useless Drs that know nothing or Drs that lie.

    Thank you Sir. I have co-ordination problems with hands sometimes. I have numb feet on outer and underneath and toes. I have episodes where all balance goes and I fall over. I have inflamed tendons in shoulders. My right arm has had sudden onset weakness last week, cannot lift thumb up, cannot grip things. A&E Dr told me I most likely need surgery. I have tingling down legs at times. I have moments when legs give way for a second and then are ok. I have electric shocks down lumbar area and down shoulder blade area with gnawing pain and itching there too. I was told I have a snapping Scapula, but I’m wondering if the spine is causing any of the shoulder pain and problems? One Dr told me the shoulder pain is referred pain from the neck.

    I have some good news at last! I have waited 25 years for this…..I went to A&E last night after nearly fainting again, he said it is your spine, neck trapping nerves affecting your sympathetic nervous system.
    He has told GP to book mri scan for me.
    I rang GP today he has booked the scan but there is a 6 weeks waiting time…even labelled urgent!
    But at last, I have an answer, so relieved, let’s hope they will operate to fix the problem.
    It seems to happen if I am sat and lean forward at a desk or lean back too far, then I nearly pass out, or bending over. I get a dreadful pain under righthand side shoulder blade too.
    If I wiggle right shoulder it makes a horrid grating noise and I can feel pain at base of shoulder base and just below collarbone, and it twangs something.
    Thank you Sir for all your help and advice.
