Hello, Alder

Happy you found our little group but sad you had a reason to look for us.  There are many here who are longtime sufferers most willing to share their experiences and resources.

Best of luck.

hi, I'm Alder 35 years old from philippines, thank you for this group, that I saw others who have with the same experience I have...I suffered pain from re-current upper back and pain on base of my left ear... I also suffered a re-current left chest pain and pain on my neck.. I have an xray last 2 years on my back with Degenerative Disk disease comment on result, I also have MRI at the back that year but found negative for DDD.. I also consult different 6 ENT for my neck and ear pain with xray on skull and Transnasal flexible endoscopy but all said it was normal.. also consulted 3 different neuro-surgeon for may head ache but all was normal..this year was different.. that I was almost taste a fluid coming from my neck going down... I then go to other ENT but still all normal.. I then go to rehab center for pain management of my upper back and requested for cervical xray due to re-current issue on my back pain.. I was then also endorse to spine center here for an ortho opinion.. an Ortho requested to have an MRI for cervical area on Monday to confirm the OPLL result of xray.

for now I suffered numbness on my left arm, left leg,  upper back pain, left ear pain and left head pain.  I will post an update on monday or tuesday upon getting the result for my MRI 

thank you.

hi good afternoon, its been almost a week that Ive been waiting to see my dr. again, he said that he had a mistake.. :-) my MRI impression was:

Disk desiccation, C2-C3 down to C6-C7

Mild posterior disk bulges, C3-C4 down to C6-C7 without significant canal stenosis

Consider subcentimeter perineural cyst, left of C5-C6

Straightened cervical aligment..

he gave me lyrica and vitamin B complex for this.. :-).

thanx for this group and hoping that all will be ok as soon as possible and always be positive. :-)
