I have bone spurs and bulging disc s in my neck, verified with an MRI, causing a high level of pain. I have been told there is nothing that can be done. But I feel that with all the advances in other medical fields that something might be available to eliminate the pain.
Hello MRI findings may suggest degenerative changes in cervical spine. Degenerative changes are generally age related findings. It is due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis. Findings suggests inter vertebral disc bulge and bony spurs. Bony spurs are due to chronic pull on annulus fibrosis. It is important to know nerve root compression etc. which is not mentioned in your query. Majority of degenerative disc disease patients are benefited by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy, analgesics and muscle relaxants. Surgery is advised in non responding cases. Physiotherapy helps in strengthening of para spinal muscles, and it prevents further changes. You need proper evaluation by a neurologist. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
