I suffered back pain about 1 week and done MRI after seek for specialist at Thompson KD.
Came out results with this. Hell ...
I'm having spinal stenosis between my C5 and C6 (as picture shown).
It had block my nerves and caused numbness and pain on my left upper arm.





I'm now researching and getting advise to proceed physiotherapy or surgery.
But pain in the night during sleep is really suffering.

My friend's advise is physiotherapy since some risk is there with surgery.
Myself had arranged for physiotherapy. And meantime will survey around for better options.
Or recommended, experience surgeon.

I hope someone may give me some guide on this.
Thx in advance.

Latest update.
Done get consultation from Dr Siow from Sime Darby Medical Centre.
He said my case is not so serious. No surgery is required. Only if I insist.
If pain is disturb and I cannot stay with it, injection of steroids will be the choice.
So he issues some pain killer and supplement for my nerve.
About few days on the medication, I was able to sleep now.

Meantime, I'm getting chiropractic treatment too.
2 treatment done so far, it helps to reduce numbness and pain too.

Pain and numbness will return when I sit or sleep for certain time.
So i just need to move around and do some straightening.

I will update my condition week or month later, if I remember the tread.
