<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My brother had cervical spine surgery 4 y ago then, lumbar surgery 8 months ago. Lumbar area is doing well, but MRI of cervical spine shows a bruise surgeon recommends complete disability dt cervical bruise he had been asymptomatic prior to that surgery. Please offer insight! Thank you.  <response>: Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that his symptoms could be related to cervical myelopathy. I would like to directly review his cervical MRI results in order to be able to give a more professional opinion. Meanwhile, I would recommend holding a cervical collar in order to help maintain the cervical column stability and reduce further damage to the spinal cord. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
