Is There Any Treatment Besides Surgery To Correct A Reverse Lordosis In The Cervical Spine?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
El Cajon, CA

After 3 cervical spine surgeries, I now suffer from stenosis in the cord,and constant pain. I get shots to release the knots, but they return and crimp the bones. The pain is only part, my arms and legs are losing sensation, or spasm wildly to the point of cramping .

My pain probably doesn't sound like it even touches what you are going through. I do have the leg cramping, very painful, but I can stand up & walk around, and it will ease off, but the losing sensation in the hands and arms, is a problem for me, and I can't raise my arms above my head , unless I use one hand to push the other one up, but still not a full reach.
I'm 74, and my 2 daughters live with me, in my house, and they are both very helpful when I can't reach things. My 1 son-in-law, helps a little, but not as much as I would like him to, that's a bit of a difficult situation, but not impossible. He and my younger daughter are planning to move into a place of their own when they have enough money, hopefully when they get their income tax refund.
I am on anti depressants, too, and they are causing tardith dyskinesia, which causes my hands etc, to involuntarily jerk, which is a nuisance when I'm writing or typing. I have to do a lot of re-writing!
I think the saying "I'm in good shape for the shape I'm in", is perfect for me. I could be a lot worse than I am.
