I have degenerative discs in my cervical area, causing
spinal stenosis and severe compression in a couple of areas. I have had some of the typical symptoms that go along with this condition, weakness, tingling, pain
in the left arm and neck stiffness. However, those symptoms have abated somewhat and I am left with a burning, tingling, numb (somewhat) feet. Anyone out there had those kind of symptoms with cervical stenosis

Just a pasting face
C2-3, disc protrusion which contacts but does not compress
C3-4, disc protrusion with bone spurs, neural foraminal narrowing.
C4-5 large disc protrusion with bone spurs compressing the cord, severe canal stenosis
C5-6 disc protrusion with bone spurs compressing the left cord, severe stenosis
C6-7 disc protrusion with bone spurs but does not compress the cord, neural foraminal stenosis.
C7-T1 is normal
T2-3 disc protrusion which contacts but does not compress
Conclusion:
Severe canal stenosis secondary to disc protrusion at C4-5 and C5-6 with mild cord volume loss at these levels.
-Surgery Set for- 18 Sep 03-4 Level Lamin. with plating

Hi, sorry to say I am also a memeber of this club. I too have leg and foot pain, with the right side being worse that the left.Which is the same for my neck shoulder and arm pain, it is all more to the right side.
I know it gets so frustrating because when it eases up in one area , it seems to kick in somewhere else.
Take care, and keep your chin up( not too far up or you'll hurt your neck HAHA)

My mom has the same pain and burning in her legs and feet. She cant walk without holding on to something to help her keep her balance.
