A member asked:
Can you get at 50 years old have? neuropathy? in spine and neck?, shoulder ? can it come and go? spinal stenosis ? what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, quite commonly: The older you get, you have more chances of spine issues in back and neck from degenerative changes to cause neuropathy of varying severity. Most of the times, symptoms do come and go based on degree of bony occlusion and pressure on nerves. Learning to live with these "growing pains" may help you avoid unnecessary surgeries.
