A member asked:
Mri show spinal stenosis ( cervical) and nerve pinching at c6 can numbness and tingling in arm resolve with tome on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C nerve compression: Your symptoms are created by nerve root pressure. Decompression is essential. Spinal cord compression itself can worsen without decompression intervention. Once decompressed, arm symptoms should improve -and resolve. Sooner is better. Long term compression can lead to irreversibility.
