I am amost 6 months post op from my 2nd surgery and my symptoms are bacl. My hand is cramping, my headaches are worse then ever. Everytime i stand up i feel pressure in my back of my neck and head. Mt balance is off and when I try to walk I sometimes drag my right foot. I get dizzy. I am worried. I dont want another surgery. I go for an MRI tomorrow and see the NS on Thursday. Not sure what is going on. Any advice would be great.
I don't really know what to say, but I hope you get a non-surgical answer!
Shannon,
You should ask for a CineMRI to make sure the flow is restored and look at you MRI films and read the reports if you haven't already. Some radiologist can say things are incidental but really effect your health. I wish you good luck. Don't take them telling you everything is okay if it doesn't feel okay. We are all here for you.

Wendy-Thank You. I am going to the NS tomorrow to see what is going on. Right now I feel like I am going crazy because of all the pressure and head pain. Like they say, I know my body better then anyone else and I know something is not right.
I'm having those same issues Shannon, but I am only 90 days post op from one surgery. I am curious what you find out tomorrow. Best of luck to you!
Hi Shannon, did you get any answers??
Jeez, there for a minute, I thought I posted this. Lol, you sound just like me! I hope you got some answers today! Please let us know how you made out.
I did get answers and he said that I have congential degenrative disk disease. He said that I have to work on strengthong my neck and start putting my cell phone in front of me instead of looking down. He told me that my head is like a bowlingball and I have to try to keep it up my rack. I see him back in 6 months. He is also putting me on a muscle relaxer for spams.
