▲ 6 r/SpinalStenosis
Cervical Stenosis.
The following is the report from my EMG.
Abnormal study.
There is electrophysiologic evidence of a:
- Chronic C5-6 radiculopathy on the right as evidenced by the decreased recruitment and chronic denervation changes in the above-mentioned muscles.
- There is no evidence of a median ulnar neuropathy bilaterally.
Upon seeing my neurosurgeon after this study wants to fuse my neck from my C2 all the way down to my T1. I feel mad as or extreme for a pinched nerve. Could anyone give me any input or has anyone been in the same situation? I just do not feel that big surgery is necessary for a pinched nerve. I do have bilateral numb hands, and my upper arms are heavy feeling. Thank you for any input or possible advice that you may be able to give me.
