Hi my name is Anndrea and I'm 26, I have osteoarthritis throughout my body. In my L4-S1 I have moderate degenerative change in my facet joints with mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. In my C6-7 I have spondylosis and a low lying cerebellar tonsils. I know there's tones of things I can do to help the athritis and stenosis, but I'm not sure what will happen with the cerebellar tonsils. Will I need surgery to stop the pressure or is it even cure able. If anyone has any helpful information it would be greatly appreciated. I go for an MRI in two days to make sure it's not a tumor causing the low lying cerebellar tonsils, but I'm dying for some information now. Thanks.
