I saw a surgeon and I was really happy when he said that seeing him & surgery should be the last port of call.
I guess my point is there is nothing wrong with getting 2nd or hell 3rd opinions before you get cut open.

Nurse practitioner
The neurologist ran nerve tests that found this issue.
I do have a C5/C6 narrowing that I had X-Rays ran on, but they said that isn't causing the issue. Maybe the surgeon will provide more information?
I don't have tingling anymore; it has just gone numb. The reason why I think it is right as well because I work a desk job so my elbow is always bent, and my hand would numb. So I would get up and go for 20 min walks and come back and the numbness was gone.
