I have so much pain I seem to hurt from head to toe. My md is sending me to a neourosurgeon. My mri showed several bulging disk and herniated disk and a disk has flattened the left side of my spinal cord. I am worried and scared not to mention depressed as usual

I do not believe anyone deserves the pains and complications associated with bulging disc, hernieted disc, flattened disc, or whatever they are calling yours. It completely stopped my life. I messed up 4 in my back and one in my neck during one episode of injury. What happened was my spine dislocated, and with lifting, messed all these discs up in just a few days. I felt them crush one by one, I heard and felt it!!! Even the workmans comp suggested it had "damaged my body as a whole"

it messed up my legs, arms, all the strength of my body, they would press on the spinal cord and nerve roots causing all kinds of srtrange symptoms, and no one understood it at all.

Email me and I will offer any suggestions I might have

Sorry about your pains buttons. I have undergone two surgeries for deteriorating discs, I wish you the best of luck, and be as informed as you can when you go see the ns. Spineuniverse.Com has a section on your condition, great info and you may find something you would like to ask the Dr.
