DR. RAHAMIMOV,
Thank You for taking my question. I neglected to give a complete summary of everything that has happened. Back in Dec.2005 I woke up, and had a terrible pain in my neck( left side) shoulder,radiating down my left arm,my muscle hurt, and pain and numbness to my left hand, and fingers.I had physical therapy, cervical epidurals, an abundance of pain medication. Nothing seemed to help. I was referred to a Neurologist who di not believe any of my complaints. It wasn't until he performed a E.M.G. did he finally believed me. I have had X-Rays, MRI. All showing Spinal Stenosis.bulging discs,bony spurs,and osteo. I have an awful lot of pain just doing minor tasks. If I cut the grass,I can hardly move my head to either side. Upon completion of the E.M.G. my neurologist sat with me, and explained that my problem was the nerves a being compressed,and a simple procedure would help eliviate my pain. Nothing seems to give comfort. I have tried all the prescriptions that all of my doctors have given me, and nothing works.I was given seizure medication,pain medication,but nothing helps.
That is why I asked for your opinion on the situation that I am dealing with. Sorry I forgot to list everything. I would appreciate your opinion . I have done alot of research on the computer, and I have come to respect your advice to people.Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to address my problem.Please let me know your opinion.
