What Causes Disc Bulging In Neck And Mid Back With Numbness In Leg?
Hi
I am a 40 y/o female. Had MRI done showing disc buldging in neck and middle of back (bra line). Doc has me on gabapentine 300mgs 3 pills 3x a day. No relief. Lower back pain is severe. I can't sit,stand,walk for long periods of time. Doctor is stumped as he doesn't seem to think the discs are causing my lower back. Have not worked since January 32011
I am fed up. Now waking up with severe stiffness in middle of back with burning sensations going from neck down to lower back. Right leg goes numbwhen I sit /drive. Any advice of what yo do next?
