I m scheduled for three-level cervical fusion (5,6, 7) in one week. Although I ve had 5 years of experience with neck-related pain (numbness, tingling, pins and needles in hand, index finger) I developed a simultaneous onset of mid back pain when my cervical issues hit an acute phase two months ago. I m told I have spinal cord impingement. Can this be a cause of this mid back pain? It just seems strange that I would have developed back pain independent of this cervical issue? What do you think, doc?I forgot to ask my surgeon this question today as we talked about the surgery itself.
