@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Yes. Nerves get pinched (stenosis) which disrupts the flow of signalling "pathways". It can cause tremors, disruption of smooth movement, sensation, strength, etc, especially in the arms from carpal tunnel. My first to be affected that i noticed was in my fingertips. I wasnt feeling a burn from the stove as fast or intensely as i used to. I drop things a lot now because i dont have full feeling in my hands.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, thanks! Yes, I try to be pretty active. However, I am one of those people who cannot push myself too hard, or I'll pay for it worse later, as with some others here. I will hopefully be getting the results of my MRI, soon. July 19th, was the day that those were done. Still haven't been read, nor do the Dr's have any of the images. I'll be on the phone in the morning trying to get a hold of at least the imagining portion of the MRI and Low-dose CT, that way it can be taken to any dr that wants/needs to see it. 😊🤗

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member nerve signalling disruption (aka stenosis) in cervical sign. Typical. Can be gotten used to and very affectively managed by PT and diet. This is a very common side affect to living an active lifestyle and being over 50. Getting old is challenging even for the healthiest people. 😌🙏

I too, have had coordination/balance issues and drop things all the time. My fingers aren't nearly as dexterous as they used to be able to. A lot of things that I used to love doing, I've had to quit, as my hands and fingers cannot handle doing those things.. Needlepoint, crocheting, flower arrangements, etc. I also get involuntary movements in my fingers and feet at times. It's concerning for me.
