Cervical Spur
by MrsChop, Jul 27, 2008 07:16PM
I have a unitate spur causing a slight neuroforaminal enchroachment at C-6 C-7. For several years I've had serve pain along the right ulnar nerve. I have fractured this arm and had to have hardware. When the neuropathy was identified three years ago, the doctor transposed my ulnar nerve and remove hardware. This overiously, did not fix the problem. Could this spur on the right side be the cause of the radicular pain I am having? Or is it all in my head? I also have a conginital fusion of C-3 C-4. Thanks, Mrs. Chop

Considering that the previous fixes did not work, it is entirely possible that this spur can be causing your present symptoms, since it was evident on the scan itself that there is slight encroachment of some areas of the spinal cord.
You might also experience progression of symptoms as compression likewise progresses, and treatment for this would involve multiple specialties like: neuro or spine surgeon, rehabilitation medicine specialist, or a physical therapist.
It is recommended that you ask your doctor about this angle, and see if this can be remedied both by surgical and non-surgical means.
Regards.
