I saw your reply to another post. I also had breathing problems I thought were sleep apnea in the begining, mine went away with pt, i did stretching exercises and stopped sleeping on my stomach, however I was too far gone not to get surgery. friday will be 6 week post op.

Mothmin,
Yea, I was just reading other symptoms that can be caused by my C5-6 stenoisis.
I use a CPAP machine. And now that I think about my
health issues, alot started to show up when my neck started going bad enough to start showing symptoms.
so, I will see, as Monday I will probably be scheduling my surgery.
Thanks for your imput.
How are you feeling 6 wks post-op?
any details you could send along would be helpful, as I would be interested to know what people experience after surgery.
