Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision, Numbness In The Arms And Concentration Difficulty After A Rotator Cuff Injury

I was diagnosed with a bone spur protruding from my upper spine into my brain stem when I was 32. Surgery at the time was risky, I was told that because I also have fused vertabrea in the same area, they would have to cut me open through my mouth to the area in question. I was told that it could be a problem later. I am 55 and recently I had a serious rotator cuff injury that has left me out of work for awhile. My newer symptoms are, blurred vision, hearing sounds like chirping 24/7, numbness in my arms and memory difficulties. My main question is, what do I do?

Hello,

For blurred vision, numbness in arms and concentration difficulty, a neurologist clinical examination is advised. You may have to under MRI brain and Cervical spine for ruling out the possible causes.

As you mentioned about the Bone spur protruding from the upper spine into the brain, I suspect there might be some neurological deficits which may trouble the vision and tingle as well due to compression onto the neurological tissue.

Since you are 55, I will advise for the neurologist opinion and medication followed by that.

Also, physiotherapy management for the neck and shoulder which will help your RCI and also the Numbness.

Blurred vision will be corrected once the compression of the spur is reduced over the neurological tissue by strength in the muscles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
