Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Dear Cinderella Princess, I never had any problems with my neck until I was injured while I was under anesthesia for a knee surgery. During the surgery, when I was OUT, things didn't go as planned and I had to be moved. Since the morning after surgery I have been found to have 3 herniated cervical discs, spinal cord displacement, ddd, and " mild spinal stenosis " . When I read your post, I reminded me a lot of myself. I have been in severe pain~hands, fingers and arms. I also have a lot of pain in my feet and legs and at times it is difficult for me to walk. My doctors told me that the cervical spine has nothing to do with my legs and that my symptoms don't match. The ironic thing is that most of my doctors are affiliated with the hospital that hurt me. I feel that they are just keeping me doped up so I don't sue or have symptoms to sue. As far as the ddd, the doctors all act like the ddd caused the herniated discs. How could I just become so injured overnight without something happening to me? Anyway, it was interesting to hear someone else say that they had involvement with their legs after a neck injury.

Almost exactly a year ago I was in a car accident and got whiplash. That might explain the pain between my shoulders. But why would my lubar region be so painful? Thank you for waking me up.
