I forgot to mention I also have a hemangioma in my thoracic spince and mild to moderate DDD in my lumbar spine. We believe it is genetic as my sister and I who share only a father both have degenerative diseases.
sorry! I also forgot to add: I am a healthy, normal weight, work out regularly at exercises approved by my pain mgmt doc and eat heathy foods.
Can anyone help answer these questions?
it sounds like the areflexia is due to the pressue being put on the nerves in your neck.
You might look into nonsugerical decompression like "Vax-d" - a friend did treatment for her neck at a clinic in Chicago and she was really helped.
what is Vax-d? Due to the level of herniations and cord compression i am ineligible for any chiropractic intervention.
Any advice you can think of?
