A member asked:
Can myelomalacia cause neck stiffness, headaches, pain through neck, arms and back? i've had a crick in my neck with all of these symptoms for 6 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck: Yes. Myelomalacia can cause all of the above symptoms if in the cervical spine region. At upper levels would be less likely to cause arm symptoms than mid to lower levels. Headache would be more common with upper levels. Seeing physician whether neurosurgeon or neurologist would be recommended for anyone with an MRI showing myelomalacia.
