I have suffered with low back pain for years. I had an MRI and it stated that I have annular tears at the L4-5 and L5-S1 and scattered hemangiomas throughout the lumber spine. I also have in the L4-5 circumferential disc bulge with left paracentral disc at the L4 level. THis is causing left lateral recess narrowing and posterior medial displacement of the left nerve root. Along with that I have a mild disc bulge at the L3-L4, and another mild disc bulge at the L5-S1..I had a nerve root block that has been unsuccessful.. what should I do next? Please give me some advice.. Thank you..

I have back pain for years. I have pain down my back leg, numbness in my foot and I have had times when my legs become weak and I can not stand up. I went to spine doc and was told I had sciatica, L4 L5 bulging, scoliosis. She had me do pt for 3 weeks, it made it worse. what should I do?

In August, I had a cervical spine fusion to repair discs 4,5 and six. After three and a half months, I went back to work at a factory where I constantly lift heavy materials. To make a long story short, 3 and 7 of my discs are herinated. The neurosurgeon says that it doesn’t have anything to do with the original surgery or original injury. I don’t believe that. I just wondered if anyone else had more discs to herinate after surgery?

I recently had my Gall Bladder removed and after surgery continued to have back pain. My MRI shows herniation in T-10 & T-11. Have there been any links between gall bladder surgery & disc problems? I would also like the pros & cons of steroid injections.

I have a herniated disk at the L4-5 level i also have buldging discs above and below I have had two microdiskectomies now I need a fusion but once u have that their is no return, but now I have been offerd the opportunity of lumbar disk replacement they offer it in clevland clinic they will remove the injured disk and replace it with two plates on the vertibrae and a plastic disk between it allows you to maintain motion in the disk anyone with disc problems in both the cervical and lumbar area should research it

I really need some help with this one!!!! my boyfriend had a cyst on his tailbone a while ago that they popped and sowed him back up. recently he has been having a lot of hip pain, on his left side, accompanied by pain in the left leg, trouble walking or even moving his hip.He also has trouble peeing, and he said it kind of tingle when he urinates. the doctors up here told him it was Sciatica and gave him Percaset, then hydrocodone, and anti-inflammatorys but nothing is helping his pain! and we do not have insurance now so going to get an MRI is out of the question, anyone have any advice as to what it may be
