spinal deteriation
by jenny1013, Apr 07, 2008 10:38AM
im not quite sure if spinal deteriation would be considered a bone disease or not im taking a shot in the dark.So my question is my boyfriend (age 33)was told he may have spinal deteriation.his symptoms are numbness,headpain,back/hip pain and he also has problems with keeping erections wich we are thinking could very well be related to his condition.
what are the chances that this is actually his true diagnosis and what are the treatments and outcome of surgeries for this type of surgery?

Thanks for responding,my boyfriend allready had an x-ray and his doctor told him that it looked like Spinal Deteriation,He is having an MRI this week.the numbess he gets is all over his body but mostly in his arm and hand, he gets pain up and down his back starting in his neck,he gets headachs constantly,the symptom that bothers him the most is the erection difficulty he can get one thank god however he has trouble sustaining it. i was hoping that someone could give me info as to to how long of a recovery process this procedure willl take. i guess we will find out soon ,were just a little anxious.and it would be nice to talk to someone who is or was inflicted with the same problem.
