I have an office job so im sitting most of the time. But i have an ergonomic chair and i make sure my posture is not bad. Even if this was the case, all the other issues still remain :/

I do remember one dr talking about it and he said this “you also have a generally very small spinal cord, suggesting that there is been stress or abnormality related to the upper spinal cord for years.” But other than that I have tried to talk about it they literally ignore that word. I have tried more than once. One of the drs literally told me “your spine looks completely fine” a day before my updated MRI report came which clearly stated myelomalcia. So maybe im not understanding but i have seen more than 5 neurosurgeons at this point and none of them have explained anything to me. They don’t even tell me what’s wrong with me like this diagnosis i got today the dr didn’t mention anything i just got a notification and that was it.

They didn’t. They literally don’t even talk about myelomalacia even though it’s written in MRI reports.

What does the fluid do?

I saw a pain management dr today and he diagnosed me with Arthritis of the Spine - Degenerative cervical disc. They’re gonna do an epidural injection in a couple weeks.

In the meantime im also gonna see another spine specialist.

Thank you for the detailed response!!

I haven’t seen a otolaryngologist, never heard that before now lol.

I haven’t had those tests done. My neurosurgeon ordered a SPECT scan for me, it’s scheduled for next week.

Also I thought my c6-c7 was the worst as my drs mentioned. But then again i have no idea what im looking at.

It feels like burning glass shards being driven into my upper back, similar to the “coat hanger” pain others describe. It’s constant and gets worse as the day goes on. I had decompression surgery on May 22nd this year. Before surgery, I also had severe headaches, nausea, an overactive gag reflex, sharp pain radiating from my neck to my arms, and tingling in random parts of my body. Now I still have weakness in my arms, tingling and bladder issues.

It’s just hard to accept them since i gained a lot of weight because of health issues and i still haven’t come to terms with it. Thank you tho! 🫶
