Hello All
I am in the Boston area and looking for spine surgeon. Tomorrow I will have my third cervical epidural steroid. So far my arm pain has yet to resolve and has started to transition into tingling. Just in case it doesnt't work, which im starting to lose hope , I will need a surgeon to hopefully replace c6/7. I should be a good canidate seeing only 22 yr young, generaly healthy and cervical disc disease only at a single level. I have heard of Pedlow and Banco. If anyone has had experiences with either a comment would be great. |

Dr. Banco performed my lumbar ADR in 2004 with the Charite and my spine has been great ever since. You may also want to check into Dr Eric Woodard, who my friend worked for and raved about -- her sister-in-law went to him to for cervical fusion. He's a neuro, Dr. Banco is ortho.
PS: When you can, pls insert a brief signature; 3-6 lines about your spine health/history. Click on the user CP link (black text in the upper left corner) and you can edit your signature and profile. It stands for User Control Panel.

Recent MRI shows: c5 osteophyte and c 6/7 osteophyte and left protrusion that effaces the subarachnoid space and flattens the anterolateral margin of cord. I have major bilateral arm pain, headaches and shoulder pain. Third ESI tomorrow. Losing hope in conservative measures. |
