Hello all,
I’m new here. I was just told Monday by my orthopedic doctor that after seeing my MRI I have PsA in my cervical spine which has caused my neck to curve the wrong direction. I have bone spurs that have firmed as well. My spine is so far curved that it is putting pressure on my spinal cord. He referee me to a neurosurgeon for surgery. Tuesday I spoke to the surgeons office who said the dr schedules based upon severity. They retrieved my MRI from the hospital and said the dr would review and to give him a few days. I got a call from the surgeons office this afternoon. The dr wants me in Wednesday morning for the consult. I’ve had bad neck pain since early May. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 24. At first they thought I had PsA but found no signs of degeneration so it was labeled fibromyalgia. They never looked at my neck. I’m now 33 and a mom of 5 children and need spinal surgery. Im still trying to process thus all and am a but scared. Nit sure what the future holds.
