Hi, curious. I am 54. Had discectomy laminectomy at 31yrs old. Ruptured disc. Zero accident. Doctor noted several discs moved but not a issue. Last 6-7 years MRIs show discs from neck to lumbar bulging, inward outward. Bone spurs. Reason for MRIs was I complained of neck and back pain. Right arm is tingling, ring and middle finger numb. Dropping things. Doctor seems unconcerned and dismissive. Pain is unbearable. I am in Phy/therapy couple times a year last 4 yrs.What type of specialist should I go to.
Hello, As you are already underwent discectomy and laminectomy at the age of 31 but now as present MRI shows disc bulging. For that, I will suggest you to consult with spine surgeon or neurosurgeon with reports. All other symptoms like tingling and numbness are because of the nerve compression. For that, I will suggest you to take tablet naloxone, tablet Pregame NT and do bone marrow density test after neurosurgeon opinion. Along with that, I will suggest you to continue physiotherapy as advised. Take calcium rich diet, and you can also use lumbar belt after consultation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
