Hi
I am writing with regards to my father. He has recently been diagnosed with having nerve compression and has to have a spinal operatoin. He went into hospital 5 weeks ago for tests due to the fact that he had become pralyzed in his left arm and hand and little movement in his right. Does anybody else have the same problem and if so what was your prognosis as he has been told that an operation would stop the disease but would not return him back to normal.

Thanks for any reply.
PS my father is 66. ?
