A member asked:
Should severe multilevel neural foraminal narrowing of the cervical spine and stenosis be concern for paralysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not quick: Unless neck is injured, the quick paralysis does not occur but a gradually progressive paralysis does occur which a neurologist or astute clinician can detect. It can be fixed by surgery and further progression will stop.
