I went to doctor in March 2017 for my right shoulder/neck hurting. Fingers on right hand numb also. They did xray said it was arthritis, prescribed Ibuprofen. No help. Last wk of April 2017, left leg, torso,foot are numb. I've had 2 prior back surgeries. Had MRI May 5th, said I have a bulging, herniated, with some stenosis. Pain is severe in back.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. The bulging, herniated disc which is compressing the nerves is the cause of the pain and all which you are experiencing. Consult a orthopedic spine specialist in person for further evaluation and management. Decompression surgery will be needed. Best regards.
