New to site. My spine is a wreck, could use some serious advice please...

[Ringo]

Surgeon said he want to take me out of the country to do ADR in neck. Now states I don't have enough neuopathy. I think my strange headaches are my nuropathy. I have a lot of pain generators in my neck. I will type my report into the computer. You seem to have read a lot of them. Maybe you can pass it on to your radiology friends or surgeons. Not sure what I want to do anymore. I hate being disabled but definitely feel like my body needs to stop. I couldn't work anyways because I would colapse. Just that I have the attitude that you keep on keeping on. I am fortunate that I have money coming in now. But, don't like taking money for nothing. Now, I get paid for being in pain and miserable. Terry Sorry for the down load. Hope it dosn't wear off on you.

How long ago was the cervical fracture? I have seen many people with fractured spineous processes in the lower c-spine that were not pain generators.

What are they recommending?
