I agreed to surgery today

[KL Aguilar]

For the last few weeks, I've been having having a new symptom that is very scary. I will be using my hand and it will suddenly cramp up and become twisted and paralyzed until I am able to force it open. It lasts just a few seconds, but each time I am frightened that it won't stop. Luckily, I made an appointment last month to see my surgeon to set up surgery. Today was my appointment and I am now scheduled to have a three-level laminectomy at C4-7. My surgery will take place in July at Cedar Sinai.
