[|Human|] HI dear doctor My MRI has shown an oval calcification between my cervical C5 and C6. I fell numb in my left hand and sometimes my right one. I have to go to toilet every one hour. I think it is because of that calcification. I do some static exercises as my physiotherapist has recommended but I am really worreid when I dont do them for more than 5 or 6 hours again I feel pain. I am 42 and I think I am too young to do surgery. what should I do?
[|AI|]  Hello, any chronic inflammation of spine heal into calcification, that could be evident in X-ray or MRI investigations. Rheumatic conditions like Rheumatoid spondylitis, ankylosing spondylitis, are the most common cause for such chronic inflammation of spine. There is no specific cause, as they are mostly due to an underlying autoimmune mechanisms. I would advise a regular exercise and keep the stress levels low by daily yoga and healthy lifestyle.
