I have been to see a orthopedic consultant today after having a scan on my neck, the reason for the scan was I have had neck arm and hand problems. I was sent for nerve conservation tests because of deadness in some of my fingers, this showed up a problem in my neck. I was told today that the scan show significant changes in my neck, also i was told I have a very narrow canal which I was born with. The ortho said he is now referring me to a nuerologist (consultant) to see if he can offer any treatment. I had a car accident about 15 yrs ago which left me with spinal problems but he said this is not through the accident. can you tell me what this means and what a neurologist do for me ?
