I am a resident orthopedic doctor in Sudan, Africa, I'd like to learn more about this procedure as an observer I wonder if I can join you to learn more.
Please doctor can I ask if this injection could work for me and in which C number do think I have to get injected. I really appreciate your answer as I am in sever neck pain..here is my MRI RESULT MRI CERVICAL SPINE History: OA. Left radicular pain. Results: The previous MB of 2021 has been reviewed. There is disc narrowing with loss of T2 signal at C4/5 and C5/6. There is slight loss of height of cervical and thoracic vertebrae, unchanged since 2021. The spinal canal above C4 and below C6 is capacious. The upper cervical cord and medulla appear intact. The facet joints are normally aligned. No compressive disc protrusion is seen from C2 to C4. The neural foramina are patent. At C4-5, the disc is mildly protruding. C5 nerve root impingement is not suspected. At C5-6, the disc is protrading. There is no cord compression. Acquired foraminal stenosis is present bilaterally particularly on the right with decophyte formation, with evidence of C6 nerve root impingement. The C6-7 and C7-T1 discs are kormal. The C7 and C8 nerve roots are clear. Comment: There is acquired foraminal stenosis at C5-6 bilaterally particularly on the right, but no additional high grade stenosis is seen. There is no cord compression.
Its not appropriate for me to comment on specific patient information in public forum. Make an appointment with a board certified pain specialist like myself in your area.
