Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2023
I suffered, or at least experienced, atrophy in my pinky and ring finger in my left hand for several years, and diagnosis eluded three GPs and two specialists. Finally, Dr. Swinarksa, a neurologist at UNM, made the correct diagnosis, which was cervical myelopathy, meaning that my spine had destroyed some nerve function towards my left hand. Dr. Cole explained that left untreated, the condition would 'progress', ultimately affecting my ability to walk and hike. [I was 74 then, and an avid walker and hiker]. I agreed to a procedure known as decompression and fusion, for which Dr. Cole is a leading surgeon. He cautioned me, however, that typically patients feel intense pain after the procedure, despite being given the usual pain meds. To my surprise, when I had the procedure in January 2022, I found the pain to be quite manageable (2 out of 10), and was able to walk down a hospital corridor right after surgery, without a cane or walker, much to the horror of the nurse accompanying
