need some info

thanks so much that helped me greatly you have a great weekend too. Take care Twiggy2 i guess a compression means just that somewere there is a compressed vertebrae anyway i thanks again. Also to i am wondering that somewere down the road that they will become worse and herniate which sometimes it feels like i have. What do i do if i think i have herniated a disc?

thanks for the reply mercyme nice to meet you, i have been in constant pain now for about a 2 years, after complaining enough to my doctor he finally sent me for tests MRI CT SCANS, that is how the disc situation appeared. But he said that was not likely to be what is causing the pain, as i felt different about his opinion he did another MRI a few months ago and this is were we found that i had more bulging disc, and the compression etc. Surgery is not an option. According to him i am however going to request that i get reffered to a specialist. I am currently waiting for a response from disability for approval or non approval, at one point i asked him what the chances of the discs herniating and he said that i most likely would not unless i do something servere enough to herniate, again disagree. Having now found out that i have DDD and broad based disc bulges etc i think that it would be quite easily to herniate a disc but that is my opinion LOL. Anyway keep in touch and we will chat back and forth with each other. I think broad based means what gramps was saying that it is a bigger bulge or multiple bulge in the same area still trying to find out info on it. Thanks for letting me vent take care Twiggy2
