SCARED spinal stenosis C-4 to T-1 laminectomy

Hello, I'm Yoli,

I am going out of my mind and I cant stop stressing. I had a slip and fall a year ago, tore my Left shoulder rotator cuff 11mm Plus hurt my neck, did every thing from chiro to therapy had 4 ortho, 2 said the same , the 2 other the same . My last one is a well respected sports surgeon in Atlanta, after his test he ordered it confirmed I have c-6-c-7 impinging on the spinal cord causing nerve damage to my Right Arm. He told me I have severe Spinal stenosis in my neck and I need a laminectomy. and rods & screws.

Can anyone give me comfort in this situation, I am due for surgery on the 20th and extremely scared

please can anyone and be up front with on this I really would like to know what im getting into

thank you so much

Yoli
