[QUOTE="Jay_Tex, post: 217027, member: 38650"] What kind of symptoms do you have? I have cervical stenosis associated with a herniated disc between C5-C6. I was injured and began to have intense pain in my left shoulder about 2 weeks after the injury. I was expecting to need shoulder surgery, and was surprised to find that the pain was completely due to nerve compression in my neck. I was beginning to get some numbness in my fingers. I understand that any kind of numbness or paralysis needs to be taken seriously as it can become permanent. I've had physical therapy as well as a cervical steroid injection. The most effective treatment by far has been at-home cervical traction using a Saunders cervical traction device (~$350). I still use the traction device from time to time if I have any flareups. I bought a Teeter inversion table during my initial treatment, but it didn't really do anything for neck and shoulder issues. However, my back always felt great afterwards! I have intermittent back pain and it is often helpful. I’ve never had an MRI of my back, so I don’t know whether I have any stenosis there. [/QUOTE]
