7 year old ADR with m6-c with Dr. Clavel, symptoms returning!!!
Long time guys! 5 years since my last post! Short story, herniated my c7-t1 disc in weightlifting accident had MRI and and ended up having 3 discs herniated! C-5/6,c6/7,c7/t1! Upper 2 discs were pressing on my spinal cord and c7/t1 was pushing on left nerve rot causing great shoulder blade pain, dexterity issues in hand numb fingers. Had 3 level ADR in Barcelona Spain with Dr. Clavel! Had a long recovery but successful! Life wAs back to normal until about 1 month ago. Started wAking up with stiff neck which has progressed to shoulder blade pain twitching fingers and a little arm pain. Symptoms mimic the ones before surgery and for the first year of recovery! Very worried and need advice on getting in touch with Dr. Clavel! Better to email or call! Last time I use medical tourism company! I do remember doc Clavel was very responsive to my emails during my recovery!
Although something might be going wrong with my cervical procedure I am 100% going back to Dr. Clavel he was amazing and my neck has Been great up to this point! Very worried that disc has malfunctionined or bone has over grown it! Seems to be my c7/t1 never that is aggravated and I'd like to get it looked at score it gets worse as the pain I had when it herniTed was horrendous!! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I k o I cannot have an MRI where the discs are as to a blurred scan! There is a CTscan with dye that I can get done I believe and of course z-rays! Can't believe this is happening, but I am trying to get ahead of the pain this time! If surgery is needed and it is the disc, is a fusion ok at the c7/t1 level without compromising the thoracic discs because they do not move like the cervical or lumbar regions do! Any adice on how to get the process of detection for my pain is appreciated! 7 years and been weightlifting and very active since, but trust Dr. Clavel to do any work needed! My whole story is on the forum, very long time ago but if u want details then it is here! Thanks guys, this form is a life saver!!
Sincerely, Jarrod
