You explain everything so well in language we can understand. Thank you. 🥰🙏
So nice of you
Wow. I was referred for worsening headaches after a head injury. I’m really lucky that Dr Peter Soh at UNMC caught the positive Hoffmann’s reflex and ordered the MRI. Now referred to neurosurg and PT in the meantime. My PT is spot on with your recommendations with addressing the neck pain.
Thank you for watching Amanda!
My initial diagnosis was through my PT today. It's terrifying when your body begins to detach from what you are used to. When I explained what I have been experiencing my Ortho doctor had me attempt to walk a straight line. Asked more questions about what I am experiencing and ordered testing.
I hope that you have a great healing experience that leads to full recovery 👍
Thank you for this important video! Sure wish you were in California. I have spent 15 years seeking the answers you've given in this video. I'm going downhill really quickly now. My doctor told me all my symptoms were all in my head, which caused a delay in diagnosis. Have EMG scheduled now. Thank you again.
Very informative!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video Ma'am

Excellent video by dr andrea asusual cervical myelopathy yes misdiagnosis may prolonged the neurological symptoms more and late identification via imaging this is " redflags" .because nonspecific simple lowback pain neck pain imaging are prevalent .but these vital condition has to be ruled out early to prevent chronic disability .yes surgery to prevent progressive neurological weakness ...biopsychosocial model plays a key role ....good one
Dear Dr. Andrea Furlan , thank you for your very informative and useful video. I am immensely impressed with your presentation of the subject on any pain management . Can you make a video on motor neurone disease. May God bless you for your future endeavours. Your service for the suffering people is really praiseworthy. Once again May God bless you Doctor
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this information ❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
Grazie dr Furlan x questo video molto interessante, lei spiega benissimo 👍👏. È efficace la terapia con ozono? Buona domenica 🤗🙋🏼🥰❤️
Thank you🎉❤
You’re welcome 😊
Wow. This addresses my path to this diagnosis today. In 2008 I had carpel tunel surgery which was ineffective. As all the symptoms you named progressed, imbalance when walking, trip and fall injuries, incontinence and most recently, hand and finger numbness and tingling. I am still in process of testing. Thank you for your channel and for helping me gain further understanding

Hi Dr. Andrea
I am 55 and suffering from Dorsal Myelitis since 2 and half years. Would you please post a complete vedio on this rare neurological disorder. With love ,
SOUMEN ( from Kolkata, Wrst bengal, India)
I love this video! Well, I love all Dr Furlan's videos, but I suffer from chronic neck pain, so this clip is really useful! And ... Well, nearly every time I open a bottle, the little lid (tappo, in Italian) falls from my hand. When it happens on a train (I travel a lot for work) there is always some gentleman rushing to get it. Very embarrassing. 😂😂

@@DrAndreaFurlan yes, thank you! I've already tried some exercises. So helpful!
I had an ACDF between C3 - C7. The follow year I also had a laminectomy in the same area. My hands made claws for the first four years. I also have myelomalacia, severe myelopathy in both shoulders and a list of other ailments caused by the condition and the operations.
Wow. Sorry for you but appreciate that you shared.
MRI caught it in in C5/C6 and three thoracic disks in 2020. Neurosurgeon was rudest, meanest, ornery doctor who was of zero help. Cause, no cause at all, probably started in my early 40s.
In the process to try and get another neurologist who'll order a new MRI to see if it's worse or it's something else. If my GP will hear me. I've asked three times in the last year. I can only hope.....I've got polyneuropathy in full arm and legs and 1800mg of gabapentin isn't helping much. The recent move at work made is 10x worse...
I'm sorry to hear that Jeanette
BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL!! YOU MUST BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!! IF I DONT GET TO GIVE UP, YOU CANT EITHER!! 👊💪
WE ARE WARRIORS!!!
My Dad also had the rudest Neurosurgeon based at St Albans hospital, he was so arrogant as well as ignorant. And the operation he performed on Dad's neck, ended up collapsing.
I'm employed & active at 66 and diagnosed moderate cervical myelopathy 5 months ago. My hands and arms so far appear unaffected but walking feels like I'm on a trampoline. I avoid running because it probably would go badly.
It's miracle treatment

Hi Guadalupe, I'm glad you like it.
Hello from Puerto Rico. I’m heading in for an MRI soon. I had one a couple of years ago with no cord compression from some significant stenosis.
Given my recent symptoms it sounds like I may have some Myelopathy. I am not asking for a diagnosis but about the time I felt some symptoms all of the joints in my hands where I have arthritis become inflamed and painful. It has been some weeks and the joints are still painful.
Have you heard of patients experiencing the same experience? Thank you…
Hi mam

Je vous remercie beaucoup pour votre futur réponse Très belle journée à vous
Hello Dr. My neck is a mess. I've suffered many years. I was supposed to have surgery to replace 2 discs in 2022. Everything was ready to go but I was afraid and I didn't have it done. This problem has been going on for many years. I had several injections over the years in pain management to sustain quality of life.. The pain down my arms is excruciating, tingling fingers. I can't handle it anymore. I have been on a fentenyl patch for years. I am also experiencing excessive ringing in my ears, vision problems, and difficulty swallowing. And multiple severe migraines that last 3 days at a time. Now my surgeon left my insurance. I have to find a new surgeon. Is this the only option surgery. 🤔
Thank you for this comment.
I just published a new video about cervical myelopathy (spinal stenosis in the neck).

Which doctor can diagnose this disease? Thanks
Neurologists, physiatrists (like me) or orthopaedic surgeons.
Thanks very much
I have been suffered for seven years and doctors can not do anything but physical therapy
I'm sorry to hear that Rose. i hope you get better soon.
Spinal stenosis is not a rare condition at all.
When the neck pain you can called cervical myelopathy?
Thanks Jaya
❤❤❤
Thanks

Are you from Slovenia?
No, I am not

Have you seen patients with worsening sx post the C vax?
I have a very small practice, and I have seen 3 in 2022.
(My pts are telling me this... Not inferred by me...)
I have seen many patients with worsening symptoms after they got the Covid infection.
I had certainly seen worsening symptoms after any infection that causes coughing.
However, I'm talking about the injection, not infection...
Decompression Surgery. I have what they are calling "Super Sever" . I have it my Lumbar as well. That is why I call Gabapentin , a sick Joke. I have had injections from 4 doctors , The last two A joke. They can and have left me with more pain and Nerve Damage. LEFT HIP" LEFT AND RIGHT LUMBAR SEVERAL TIMEs, THEN CERVIAL. I can barely use my left arm to even write. This little bit of typing is killing me so GOOD BYE.
I'm sorry about that. I hope you get better Scott.
Hey thanks, I am glad there is a Doctor that cares. I can relate now to the many elderly i have met
I’ve delt with a pain in my neck for 38 years. I’ve tried candy, dinners and expensive jewelry. Nothing has worked. Then one day it hit me. I could have used my head……. When the preacher said repeat after me: I Marc take you Karen should have said I do “NOT” take you Karen. One little three word added in, could have stopped 38 years of a pain in the neck. 😂
I don't think this is an appropriate comment to this video.
