Husky 1987-Thanks for your reply.
My problems started around 2017-18.
I noticed my hands getting weak. But just put down as aging & my father had problems with his hands.
We went to Disney in Dec 2019 and I walked 8-9 miles a day with some leg and hip pain and had to rest often, but I did it.
Then the bowel problems started. In Feb 2020 I had an accident @ work. I went home, cleaned up, and went to the ER. I thought I had had a stroke.
After MRI's & Cat scans including being checked for cauda it was determined I had an impinged spinal cord @ C3-4. By the time of my decompression surgery in March 2020 my hands had turned into useless claws and I could no longer walk.
I regained most of my hand functions but they are still weak. I can walk again short distances with a cane and I use a walker for long distances- 100 yards @ most before my left leg goes numb except for extreme throbbing in my left knee. The knee was examined twice xrays, cat scans, mri's and it was determined the pain was neurological. More lumbar cat scans, xrays & mri's and I need L-3 to S1 decompression & fusion.
I go under the knife on Thursday.
