C1-C7 degeneration



Subject: C1-C7 degeneration

Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum

I am a 39 y/o female martial arts student, budget analyst, wife, mother, etc.
I have suffered headaches for years and recently constant muscle spasms in my neck and back.
X-ray showed all discs are degenerating, C6 and C7 the worst.
The curvature of my cervical spine in totally "out of whack".
I was in a car accident in 1981 which I believe may have began this condition.
Can the entire cervical spine be fused? Would it be done in several surgeries over time?
How much mobility will be lost?
My physician is sending me to physical thereapy and I have a requst in to see a specialist.
Should I continue with my martial arts training? (pain permitting)
