I got into a car accident in Sept. 08, I've had severe pain since said time. I've had two different MRI's, one laying down and one standing both showing problems, pretty severe, a great deal of my problems from the accident, some from time and age, unfortunately, the neurologist I have is telling me that everything is in my head because additional testing he says shows nothing yet I suffer day in and day out. There is severe tingling and numbness in my right arm from my neck all the way through my right arm down through my fingertips. It feels like the right side of my body had a stroke but tests do not prove this conclusive. I suffer daily from these pains: tingling, pain, numbness but the doctor doesn't believe me. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. I know that I'm not crazy because I didn't have all these problems before but the doctor doesn't seem to care, what should I do?
thats when you go to a neurosurgeon as my mom did. they did exploratory surgery and found her issues. she had the numbness as well as the way down to her fingertips and it ended up being c5..
I just read your remarks about your doctor thinking the pain was in your head!! I cannot believe it because I went to a Neuro Surgeon and he is telling me the same thing! I have seen 8 doctors and finally had an MRI in July, 2013 which shows Spondyloarthropathy at the levels of C4-5 causing central canal stenosis and moderate to severe neural foraminal stenosis at C-6 and C-7. I am in so much pain and unable to work. Today my Short Term Disability Insurance Claim Person denied my claim saying there was not enough medical information or a diagnosis received! Isn't Spondyloarthropathy a diagnosis!! I am going to have to search for another Neuro Surgeon who will help me with this and NOT tell me that it is all in my head. As I sit here, not getting paid, watching the bills pile up and my symptoms becoming worse I just feel like telling that Neuro Surgeon where to go! Thank you so much for sharing!!

∙ 9y agoNeuroforamen is actually a space or tunnel though which the nerve roots originating from the spinal cord exit and go out to supply different muscles with nerve signals and carry sensory signals from different areas to brain.
Neuroforamenal stenosis is a condition in which this tunnel gets narrowed. The reasons for this stenosis are either Arthritis of the facet joints of the spine, disc protrusions,trauma, tumor or infections. Most common reason being degenerative changes in spine due to old age and arthritis.
Patients with neuroforaminal stenosis present with sharp shooting pain due to compression of the nerve root, they may also get weakness of the muscle supplied by that particular nerve root.
Treatment is initially steroid injection and pain killer if the patient does not respond to this conservative treatment then surgical decompression gives good result.

At t12-l1 what is moderate right neural foraminal stenosis?
chronic lacunar infarct
What is icd 9 code for neural foraminal stenosis?
The ICD-9 code for neural foranimal stenosis is 724.9. Foranimal stenosis is nerve compression of the nerve that leaves the spinal canal through the foramen. It can occur in the neck or lower back.
Nueral foraminal stenosis?
Neural foraminal stenosis is a condition in which a spinal nerve is compressed, causing pain and numbness of the lower back or the neck. It can be caused by herniated or bulging discs, bone spurs, or collapse of the spinal disc space.
What does an element of neural foraminal narrowing mean?
neuroforaminal narrowing
What is mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis?
Moderate left foraminal stenosis is compression of the cervical spinal nerves that travel through a narrowing of the foramina. Causes of the narrowing include herniated disc material and bone spurs in the neck.
What is mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis.?
There's actually 2 separate indications in your Radiology report:Mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis is a common problem with most people. The Foramen is the spinal opening at each vertebrae where the nerves pass through; stenosis is the term for narrowing, and in this case it's stating that there's foraminal narrowing in the L5-S1 vertebral area, which is not uncommon.The "small tear" is at the posterior (rear) annulus of the L5-S1 disk, meaning there's a small rupture in the rear of the disk membrane.
Is mild to moderate cervical spondylosis something to worry about Also minor neural foraminal stenosis at C6C7 and C4C5 on the left I need help please?
Help please
What does neural compromise mean?
Neural compromise, also referred to as neural foraminal compromise, is a health condition. It's when the spinal column's foreman becomes narrowed.
What is neural foraminal effacement?
what is for animal effacement
Bilateral neural foraminal stenosis?
The Radiology report indicates that there's a a narrowing (stenosis) on both sides (bilateral) of the foramen, which are the holes through each vertebrae where the nerves exit. Stenosis common in most people as they age, though it can happen faster in cases where there's a spinal degeneration problem or other disease.
What does mild right neural foraminal narrowing C4-5 due to right uncinate hypertrophy mean?
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
