A member asked:
If you are born with c2 and c3 verterbrea fuse don't that mean c2 is pressing on the nerve or spinal cord since there no disco to hold the bone steady?

Not necessarily: Is the patient yourself, another adult, or a newborn infant? I just answered the other question...now I see that you ARE referring to a fusion between C2 and C3 which sounds to be congenital for some reason. It does not AUTOMATICALLY that anything is being pinched although there certainly is a chance that's the case. an EMG and nerve conduction study may help decide that question.
