Did you have a lumbar surgery when I had mine?

I say-Go see a different doctor Clown

No really how long has this been going on? What test have you had?

Both of my arms hurt on a daily basis. It started with one after I had a small accident and dropped to the floor. Now I have 24/7 numbness/tingling/or pain in both..... Not to mention the lovely muscle spasms that I try to keep in check.

I had thoracis x-rays that scared my PCP and was sent straight to NS for further evaluation.... Then I had MRI & Cervical x-rays.... Then he said ACDF. Now I am in PT (insurance won't authorize surgery till I do PT).... Now the PT person said something about Thoracic problems.... a vicious circle....
