Question 1

what would 3 white spots on your cervical spine mean?

Accepted Answer

: What do you mean by white spots? Are you seeing this on a radiology image? More information is needed.

Question 2

can bone spurs and disc bulges of the cervical spine disappear over 6 years?

Accepted Answer

Usually no.: These findings are typically produced from longstanding wear and tear and do not spontaneously resolve.

Question 3

why are bone growth stimulators used? 3 level cervical spine fusion 2 weeks ago. no xrays or anything but was told i was going to be given a bone growth stimulator at my appointment. seems a little premature?

Accepted Answer

: Much better, and more accurate explanation, can be obtained from your surgeon.  But would gather there is concern of an incomplete fusion or a bony nonunion, especially if there is a history of cigarette smoking.

Accepted Answer

Cervical stenosis: Cervical spinal stenosis or narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck can cause imbalance and dizziness. Difficulty walking and unrinary retention can occur when there is compression of the spinal cord. It is important to obtain an updated MRI of the neck to determine if the stenosis or narrowing has progressed over the past four years.
