myelopathy after several cervical spine surgery

by sarf45, May 11, 2009 09:22PM
i am a 45 yrs old male had anterior C5-6-7 fusion in 2002. since last 2 years i started having weakness and numbness of left side which progressed to both sides, i had a bone spur at c5 which is removed then after flexion MRI found out that C4-5 disc is prolapsed and i end up with extension of anterior fusion to c4-5 as well, in august 2008.
I continue to have muscle weakness, numbness and atrophy of both side , i cant do anything any exersice,, any driving or movement cause severe attack of pain and numbess progressive weakness, everyday i am getting worse.
I had cervical myelogram in feb 2009 which shows small bone spur at C5 just below last fusion at C4-5. all the surgeons dont think that spur big enough to cause all these, i am so frustrated , i would like to hear from some one with similar problems or suggestion for a better neurosurgeon or neurologist for me to see, i can go any where to see some one who really knows what they are doing. also i have the worse pain ever for last surgery.
