Herniated Disk In Neck
I supposedly have a herniated disk in my neck, not sure where, and it is pinching the nerve running down my left arm and hand. The pain is horrendous not only in the neck, but in the shoulder and arm. I can't sit, or lie down to sleep because either side bothers the nerve. Has anyone had surgery to correct this issue? The orthopedic surgeon I saw said no as I could likely become paralyzed. This has been going on for 3 years and I need an answer.
I was told about the same thing from a car accident. I am not Abe to turn y neck and are told not to do so. I was also told about the issue is it could become an emergency and to take care with y neck because one more injury To it. I take a Celebrex like drug which helps.
I had injuries in neck had several laminectomies. They did 5 at one time. Have you tried epidurals..injections to treat disc/area or a Spinal Cord Stimulator which interrupts the pain signal to the brain? Have you gotten a 2nd or 3rd Dr's opinion?!
Does this dr take the time with you to be informed what he is doing and where? y dr is very short and not supportive of me. Let me know Irene ty kathy
I am sorry I cannot help. I have bulging discs, but none are herniated.
I'm Interested In Lazer Spine & American Spine Surgeries - Anyone Have This Done On Neck ?
Does Anyone With Spinal Problems Suffer From Jaw And Teeth Pain?
I Dont Know What To Do. I Seen A Surgeon A Year Ago And He Said That He Can Only Do Surgery On People That Would Benefit From It
