Last Oct I diagnosed with bulging discs in my neck after complaining of left arm numbness and tingling . One week later I had an MRI taken which revealed I had bulging disc. The following day, I had an epidural in my neck. Since then, I have been until a week ago when I began to have tingling in both arms, hands, feet and toes. Today my thighs started tingling. Could this be something serious? How do I treat this? YYYY@YYYY
Hi, you are complaining of left arm numbness and tingling which probably because of compression of nerve in your neck due to disc bulge. Now this is not a serious problem this is just a process of spinal degeneration or wear and tear of joints and disc of spine. You took epidural injection but not get relief with it that's ok because in. Is just like jack-pot may work or may not be. Your current problem not coming from epidural injection. First you have to do MRI of cervical spine with screening of whole spine, and accordingly we can proceed further. Till then continue physiotherapy and multi-vitamins tablets. Thanks
