Experiences with

Myelopathy

I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen. Not sure if it’s RA related or not.

By long usage the name of subacute combined degeneration has been applied to these nervous lesions, but, as suggested by Jewesbury (1954), it would now be more satisfactory to use the comprehensive term “vitamin-B12 deficiency" with the appropriate qualification of “megaloblastic anaemia” and/or “myelopathy

I have cervical stenosis myelopathy c3 to c7 which seems to have stayed the same for a number of years, has anyone else had this, although the weakness in my right arm isn’t pleasant and the heavy pins and needles are awful I don’t feel that the risk in surgery is worth it.

When he heard my symptoms he said he was concerned that I may have cervical myelopathy and that I should go to A and E immediately. I told him I had already been. And, he said I should try going somewhere else.

Have been referred for a spinal steroid injection by the fellow for example but have read this isn't always good option for myelopathy. So I hope the private consultant can advise. Any advice or support much appreciated. Thank you xxx

hi Am not prone to these but I’ve tried a new solid insert in my wheelchair cushion. I think this was too firm because after 6 days I had a small pressure sore on my right sitting bone I removed the insert and it healed quite quickly after this . Having seating issues re nhs wheelchair and finding

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to subacute combined degeneration, a peripheral neuropathy and myelopathy of the posterior and lateral columns that can be irreversible if treatment is delayed.55 In severe cases, this can also cause optic neuropathy and encephalopathy."
