Knee meniscus and disc issue
Want to get evaluated my xray scans. attaching for knee and spine. Having cont. Pain in knees and spine
Do I need a repeat MRI for my spine
In January, I took an MRI because my cervical disc bulge symptoms got much worse and regular (I've had it for two years), with complete numbness of my right arm everyday even with simple functions like writing, typing, cooking, eating, etc. I tried different doctors, physiotherapy, ayurveda in different places because I live in a remote area (I'm a forest researcher) without doctors nearby. After my initial physiotherapy for one week, my pain and numbness extended to my left arm and shoulder. Instead of resting after, I went for another survey and both my arms went numb with severe pain in neck and upper back. In the following days, I had severe pain in right hip and slight numbness in right leg also. I tried ayurveda after this for two weeks. Now I feel okay if I absolutely don't use my arm but even walking slowly for 5 minutes starts the numbness in hand and leg. Do I need another MRI since my symptoms got worse or would that be a waste? what's the best way forward?
Severe Lower Back Pain Radiating to Left
I am experiencing significant lower back pain in the central region which started a few days ago and suddenly worsened after a squatting movement. The pain now radiates into my left leg and makes it difficult to walk, especially when putting weight on the left side. I am also unable to sit upright at 90 degrees due to increased pain, and getting into bed is particularly painful while getting up is slightly manageable. There is no loss of bladder control, but the pain intensity has increased enough to affect basic movements and daily activities. I am looking for an early consultation with an orthopedic (spine) specialist to evaluate the condition and suggest appropriate treatment.
