Neck MRI results

I've had a couple of EMGs, not horribly painful. Glad to hear about the neurosurgeon visit, no surgery is good. Mine called my MRI "impressive", I found out later that was not a good thing.

Yes, I don't think we WANT to hear a surgeon say that word :-) Interestingly enough, my KB coach AND chiropractor both have been telling me they thought it likely to not actual be my neck that is really causing the problems - and my coach really thought it related to nerve problems in/around my right shoulder. We will see how close he is. The interesting thing about today is the neurosurgeon really didn't seem to want to hear about symptoms - though I guess a neurosurgeon really isn't actually treating symptoms but a specific pathology. Not the same thing.

Neurosurgeons are interesting, they have all these little magic tricks. I remember thinking all the stuff he did showed nothing, then I read his report. Dang, I didn't even walk right! My gait was all messed up.

We are going to speak again early next month after the EMG, we will see what he says then. He did see many of the same things as the MRI report said, just not the stenosis or nerve root compression. You do have to wonder how two people saw such different things - but he IS the specialist... Hopefully the EMG will tell us what is going on.
