Hi I am diabetic since 30 years and my age is 78 I recently found a massive nerve compression on my cervical area c3 to c5. And my shoulder stopped working. And doctors wanted to operate me instantly Now I figured out that shoulder problem is called plexopathy and I think I will recover it in 3 months but my problem's that. What should I do with my nerve compression at c3, c5 and c7. It's only growing since 4 years now and believe me the compression is a lot. Suggest me Should I get it operated and decompressed I am 78 years old with 30 years plus of diabetes. My nerve conduction reports also tell me that my nerves are in bad condition.
