What Causes A Knot On Back When Suffering From Herniated Disc?
Hi there so I was rear ended in an auto accident where I now have learned I have a herniated disc in my neck and my mid lower back...my chiropractor ordered an MRI which is how I learned of the discs but my hopefull question to u is...on the MRI it showed a faint mass in my mid back and I never had this before this accident. Shortly after the accident my fiancee was rubbing my back when I thought I had a bruise it turns out its a knot coming outward. What could this be? Should I be finding a specialist besides the chiropractor?
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
