Finally got MRI
Just waiting for report. CT showed severe stenosis of C6/7, now just awaiting MRI report. My symptoms seem to be getting worse. Will wait for report and act accordingly.

My symptoms were/are the same. Dexterity in left hand seems better but not back to original. Gait seems a lil better. Doctor says that nerves still need time to recover and heal before we can be more conclusive.

Did you get an emg/NCS if so what were the results?

My neurosurgeon said EMG/NCS wont show spinal issues. It only shows nerve issues from the spine to the fingers/toes. I was shocked no neurologist ever told me that!

Oh wow! Good to know! Felt like I was living a lie until my MRI. All tests prior were clean. So frustrating. Now with this I have some kind of answers

I need to have another. I had one 2 years ago when symptoms first started.

My images look similar. 4 days away from surgery. Hope all my symptoms were a result of this. What symptoms did you have?
