Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you developed myelopathy, it may justify your symptoms. However, it is necessary to see the report or the images of the MRI in order to be sure. If there are stenosis and compression of the spinal cord, decompressive surgery may be necessary.

I suggest you consult with a Neurosurgeon/spine Specialist about further treatment possibilities.

Hope I helped you.Feel free to discuss with me about your health issues.

Thanks.

Please discuss with your primary care Doctor or Neurologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Your Neurologist or even your primary care Doctor may refer you to the Spine Specialist or Neurosurgeon in your locality/area.

So, please discuss with them first about getting evaluated further.

Hope this helps.
