Cervical aDR did improve my leg pain
Rob,
Most definitely, the 2 level cervical ADR surgery I had exactly 6 weeks ago did improve my leg pain and neuroligical symptoms. Alot!
I'm still improving each week. I'm back to work full-time.
as soon as I got off of the gurney post-op, I could tell right away that the leg weakness I had in both legs was gone, and that my right leg felt 50% better than that morning. My left leg has some apparent nerve damage that has given me trouble for many years, due primarily to the fact that I went so long (14 years) before my lumbar ADR surgery, but the weird nerve problems and freaky twitches are gone in both legs, as is the feeling of "having my legs beaten with baseball bats" pain I have suffered with due to my cervical central canal stenosis and degenerated discs.
By the way, I never had bad cervical symtoms; I had some arm and neck problems, but certainly not bad enough to have ever seriously considered having cervical surgery. My problems were in my legs, feet, and overall nervous system.
God Bless,
Jeff
