Spine Fusion ??? HELP

[CountryBoy1]

So I was doing pushup last July and well to make a long story short I lost strength in my left side, pain lasted about a week and a half then went away but Ive lost strength in my left tricep, lat, and pec atrophy compared to my normal right side. I have had a x ray, mri, emg nerve test, and myleogram and ct scan.

The Dr. said he finally did find something in the last test myelogram and ct scan. The Dr. are baffled that I have no pain, and the emg nerve test showed no nerved damage from where they done that test. The Dr. summed it up real quick stating that I need to have a spine fusion, yet I have no pain just weakness in my left muscles mentioned above. Im not sure what I should do and keep worrying if I;ll ever get to work out again I miss it daily.

I could work out right now but the weakness is impairing progress. Any advice and any thoughts on ever working out hard again. My days of heavy lifting are over if I have the surgery I've been told ??

I dont understand your post. Whats the problem your doctor found? A good doctor will not tell you to have a fusion until you have exhausted all over forms of treatment. I'm a patient at the Shepherd center in Atlanta. They are the best in the country for brain and spinal injuries. If you are going to an Orthopedic for your neck I would start running the other direction. You need to see a neuro surgeon.
