It seems like a LOT of people on this board tend to have problems with discs. I myself just got an MRI back a short while ago and they found an annular tear at S2-S3 and a bulge at L5-S1. Of course my doctor told me that these aren't causing my severe pain and muscle spasms because they aren't touching the nerves.
Anyway, what kind of treatment have people had success with? Even though my disc problems aren't causing my pain, my doctor still recommended steroid injections to the disc?!?(I believe that these are epidural) Every post I have read about these are negative, so I will pass. Does anyone have any positive treatment options. TENS units? (I had a lot of luck with the PT electro-stim machine) Any of the different types of surgeries?
I would appreciate any information that anyone has to offer.
Thanks,
daddyj
