Report
If nerve or spinal cord pressure lasts for an extended period of time the changes could be permanent which would typically occur with a patient who had considerable clumsiness or weakness which is termed spinal degeneration symptoms. If surgery is delayed, patients that mainly have neck pain, probably have a small chance of permanent damage, provided that their problem is associated to simple degeneration.
