I have never had flexion and extension xrays because this instability issue was never addressed to me in the mri report. I was just told that I had slipped discs and cervical kyphosis, which i use a cervical traction for. I have been to physical therapy for my neck problems and it only made me worse and feel dizzy. Nothing has helped for me at all. Which is why I'm so desperate for help and answers. I also believe I might have Ehlers Danlos because of my joints starting to pop a lot and feel loose. I'm still undiagnosed and I'm hoping to go see a neurosurgeon soon for another opinion...I just hope that I can be taken seriously....

   Instability  in  that  area  can  get  worse  post  op  and  a  fusion  may  be  offered....I  was  told  I  had  it  and  would  need  surgery  too,  but  I  was  determined  not  to  have  it and  did  my  neck  exercises  religiously  and my  neck  seems  stronger...

  Did  you  have  a  flexion  and  extention  xrays?

Hi. Well I though I'd come to rant about my symptoms. Lately my head is beginning to feel harder to hold up and my neck feels weak, also my visual disturbances are getting worse. I posted my MRI of my neck to another website where a kind lady was able to look at it and point out some abnormalities. She noted that I had instability between my C1 and C2 and the rear of my C1 encroaches a little into my spinal opening. I'm surprised the radiologist never mentioned this. I've read up about craniocervical instability and I wonder if this is what I might have...? I'm still going to get another opinion on all this soon..and with a neurosurgeon....:/
