Just wanted to share in case this would help someone else.  I am 6 mo post op and still have constant neverending headaches and met with Dr Oro and found out that I have a ruptured disc at c5c6 and need a fusion.  Hoping this is the answer to most of my symptoms also found I had decreased spinal flow in the dura but one step at a time.  I am so thankful he solved the rest of the puzzle for me he has been a blessing.  So looks like November for that surgery but excited that it might help.  Thank you all for being here!

Actually Dr Oro is going to do the surgery and the rupture isn't causes the flow problem that is further up in the dura mater but dont want to worry about that yet.  The rupture is causing part of the headache and all of the numbness and tingling so at least I know what is wrong hate to do another surgery so soon but also want relief.  Wish you the best also!
