spinal stenosis
by Jack305, Jul 07, 2008 07:08AM
My recent cervical MRI revealed "severe stenosis of the central cord and the neural foramina" at each point from C-3 through C-7. The impression was "multilevel advanced degenerative change". I am 77 and my only symptoms are a weakening left leg and a bladder which is becoming atonic. Would surgery normally be advisable? What are the risks? How likely could some recovery result?
Thanks,
