Get a second opinion! I've had some, but not all, of the same symptoms off and on for the last several months: neck/upper back/shoulder pain, tingling/slight numbness here & there down my left arm & into my fingers, limited range of motion when turning my head or looking up/down, even pain in my chest. The chiropractor I was seeing immed said I had stenosis at my C7 & to see a neuruologist. After seeing the neuro, he wanted to do a spinal tap/myelogram and have more tests done on my arm and hand, and said I would have to have surgery. I went to go see another chiropractor who is also a kinesologist & he said they were both wrong, told me why. It's nerve problems but it's caused by inflamed/aggravated muscles & some old scar tissue. The pain went away after a few months then all of a sudden came back. After about 8th visit, the pain started going away& I'm doing better. He thinks he can get me back to about 95%.
Regardless, good luck to you and I hope that you get a full recovery.



I love these kinds of responses....second opinion!!! second opinion!!! get a second opinion!!!! Your first problem is the first thing in bold. The second thing in bold is what I hate about those "doctors".....after the 8th visit!?!?!?! THE 8TH VISIT!!! They keep you coming back for more and milking your wallet. "Oh sure, I can get you back to 95%......lets just go ahead and schedule all 35 of those visits in advance. Also, did you know you can set up an automatic bill pay with us? Yeah, we'll just take it out of your checking account on a weekly basis so you dont have to worry about missing payments or anything. Sound good? ok, we'll see you next week, and the week after and the week after and the week after...."
