Lately my mother has been complaining about Neck and right hand pain, when checked with our family doctor he consulted for X-ray after which he updated that the bone marrow has rubbed which is common in this age will be treated with medicine and asked to not use high pillow henceforth after the consultation she started using low pillow but the Hand pain has increased along with some sensations. Please help does it need any special consultation or what why to tensed about it.
My father's age is 51
He has been diagnosed with slip disc (between L4 and L5)
I have attached the MRI reports
He is having unbearable pain that starts from lower back n goes till left leg
He is not able to sit even for 10 sec tingling and pain starts
We have shown one spine surgeon
He told us to take meds for 3 week n if condition doens't improve then proceeds to surgery
He has given
Ultracet
Pan - D
Gaba neuron (NT 400/10)
Even taking for 10+ days there is no major improvement
We have shown to 2nd doctor for second opinion as it is feeling so much risky for operation
And 2nd doctor said don't take so much meds
And he told to take meds for 6days and stop the previous med
He prescribed
DFZ 6mg
If no improvement then have to do surgery
So now i m confused wht should I do and whom should I consult
Is surgery is the only solution left for my dad?
He is having high blood pressure, diabetes and taking meds of that too
Whom should I consult i want assurance and more discussion
My mother's MRI (Feb) shows: Mild L5–S1 retrolisthesis, Modic changes, L3–4 left foraminal disc protrusion, and L4–5/L5–S1 disc prolapse with caudal migration causing severe foraminal stenosis.
She has pain mainly in the buttock radiating to the leg. She is currently taking Nervite Plus, Gabapin-NT, and Vitamin D3 60,000 IU. The pain has reduced slightly but is still persistent.
Would you recommend any change in medications (add, reduce, or switch), or any specific physiotherapy/exercises that are safe and effective?
Any lab tests to do for check-up the parameters???Please tell me best possible way...
Back side of left neck is paining sometimes pain radiates to the arm.. does collar to be wear ?
Attaching my mri report
For more than 1 year I have been suffering from back and left leg pain and numbness in my leg, I went to a spine surgeon and took an MRI and came to know that I have mild to moderate disc bulge along with nerve compression and prescribed a pain killer, muscle relaxant and supplements for a month. Earlier the pain was more like intense tiredness like pain now the pain which I am having for the last 2 days is like shooting pain going from my buttock to my calf , I don't know if my symptoms are improving or not, I am still getting pain and numbness and I am worried that why the pain and numbness is not going. 15 days are left in my medicine to finish the course. Please help, thank you
