Hi,sorry to know
My opinion is that you should go to see
neurologist for neck MRI,It seems pinched
nerves in your cervical spine.
Take care!

Hello Sandy,
Very definitely mention your fall to your
doctor. It IS important that your doctor
know about it. The more information you
can give to your doctor the better he/she
will be able to try and help you.
I agree with Jak han, do see a
neurologist, and to get an MRI. In
addition, seek out the best
neurologist/spinal surgeon that you can
find in your area. Get that 2nd and 3rd
opinion.
I wish you the best.

Hello Sandy,
Always remember that YOU are number ONE.
Don't let any doc try to intimidate you.
If a doc does, then cross him/her off of
your list and find a BETTER doctor.
During the past year and a half I have
been to 7 spinal surgeons/neurologists.
Of those, only a neurologist, a pain
management doc and one spinal surgeon have
actually listened to me. Most won't give
me the time of day. To those I say "Shove
IT" and move on. AND that's after
eliminating a lot of spinal specialists
because of bad references. I have no idea
how the "baddies" are permitted to
graduate from med school.
The name of the game is to find the very
best spinal doc that you can find. Ain't
many out there, but there are a few. Just
keep searching and don't waste your time
with the baddies.
Take care. Hang in there.

P.S. - I wonder if carrying a BIG bat into
the exam room would make a difference.
LOL
