Spinalchord disc-prolapse

2016-12-20 07:38:47
I have been diagnosed with spinal chord disc prolapse 4 years back in in L5-s1 , i was driving a manual transmission car at that time and i always used to feel uneasy while driving.Then I stopped driving now almost 3.5 years. I don't have that needle like pain which I used to feel in my spine back in those days. Now I want to buy a car so shall i buy an automatic car which will help me to have a comfortable driving? Or shall I buy a normal manual transmission car with good seat adjustable features ? Can someone guide me on that just want to know whether there is any implication of pressing the clutch of a manual transmission car over my spina chord.

Hi there I understand your concern and anxiety...For spine diagnostics, MRI is necessary...you should get clinical examination done by orthopedic surgeon now before booking car...go through examination and investigations to assess present condition and ask about your doubts they will guide you.

Hello, I will suggest before buying do assessment from physio and ortho. As manual or automatic doesn't make any difference if your musculoskeletal balance and endurance is good. Most important aspect before buying learn driving ergonomics so you will get better idea about posture while driving and best suitable interior design for yourself in car to avoid microtroumas on spine which can aggravate symptoms.
