Current symptoms: neck pain, tingling/numbing hands & feet with occasional burning pain, headaches, ocassional dizziness, base of head pain, hand tremors, occasional lack of coordination when walking, periodic limb movements (awake & asleep). Diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy a couple months ago, prior to MRI. No known cause of neuropathy - no diabetes, B12 ok, no thryoid problems. Was in car accident 7 years ago that caused whiplash. Have not felt good since!
QUESTIONS:
1. Would this be enough cord/nerve compression to cause peripheral neuropathy?
2. Would this be enough cord/nerve compression to cause tremors?
3. In your opinion, would surgery be recommended?
4. Are there other tests (other than nerve conduction) that could be performed that would diagnose nerve damage and its cause?
