I have always had a minor tingling my hands, feet arms and legs but never paid any attention to it. Around the end of May I was sitting on the side of the bed and when I went to get up I had an extremely strong feeling of pins and needles up and down both arms and legs. thought it was just another version of the tingling and didn't pay much attention to it. But this didn't go away, it got worse. So I went to my PC doctor. He Immediately sent me to an orthopedist who set me for an MRI. X-ray I had showed stenosis of the 5th and 6th cervicaL verebrea. But the MRI showed much more. The sheath that carries the nerves through the vertebrea was completely compressed. So since she does not do surgery she sent me to a neurosurgeon. I had surgery on Sept 29 an have been recoverying since. I am up and doing a few things now and feelling better each day. Forgot to mention before surgery I had excruciating pain in hands and wobbled when I walked. Both are much better now. In fact the hand pain was a lot better the next day. I was in hospital for 5 days. Will . Thiswrite more later. This computer is not cooperating. I thank you all for your prayers and concern. Love you all.
