Turns out I have a disc bulge between two of my cervicals and it’s pinching a nerve, which is very very painful and weakening my arm and finger sensitivity.
I’m not here asking for advice, rather to get an idea of what’s down the road for me depending on the type of treatment I’ll end up following. I am seeing a doctor, I have an appointment tomorrow. I also had a CT scan done.
So basically if you’ve had something similar anywhere on your spine I’d appreciate to know about it. Did you recover fully? How long did it take? What treatment did you follow? Did you complement it with anything such as specialized exercises, acupuncture, massage or else?
Mine basically fully cured.
Lose weight is #1 followed closely by trunk rotation exercise in the morning. Stretches stretches stretches. Rows and other back strengthening exercises.
I had l4 l5 bulge that I fell on and severed a piece which is now floating.
It pressed on the nerve giving me pain and eventually numbness and foot drop. Chiro and some PT got me good again but I almost lost my leg.
Wow, success story - not the most usual type of story! That sounds super painful, I can’t even imagine what it’s like to sever a piece of disc. Thanks for sharing
