Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Wow! That's a LOT more than " soft tissue damage " !I have similar problems in my neck, including bulging disks andstenosis and arthritis, but it's not the source of the majority of my pain - the worst of my damage/pain is in my lumbar area causing severe neuropathy in my legs and feet. But I can definitely empathize. > Cheryl-AMEN I agree with all. The impeading spinal fluid flow is not good. Please have your doctor send you to a specialist to check this out before going to anything that manipulates your neck. It may be swelling or something else but you definetely deserve testing to find out what is going on and what nerves are impeded. Bulging discs may be herniated discs and you need to protect them. Someone else said that you certainly need someone that knows what they are doing and I would hate to see manipulative care damage you any furthur before specific testing is done. Please INSIST that you go to a neurologist, ortopedic specialist or both. Insist on second opinions also. I always do this before anyone gets to stick or manipulate or poke in my spine. You do not want to do anything that will cause furthur damage. Please let us know what you find out, and you deserve furthur testing. Do not be afraid ask. Also, Spine Universe is a good website for information about the spine. No invasive procedures until you find out! (Take it from someone with excessive scar tissue and damage from injections) Thats my story and I am sticking to it. I hope to keep you from mistakes I have made. Good Luck Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
