Can Paracentral Disc Protrusion Be The Cause Of Pain, Numbness And Tingling Sensation?
I went to doctor as I had pain and numbness and tingling in my feet. Numbness in both - pain in right.
Another strange feeling with slight pain during orgasm and completely different feeling to ever before.
Had MRI - impression reads as - Early spondylotic changes are noted at the lumbar spine, with a right paracentral disc protrusion seen at the T12/L1 level, which is indenting the descending nerves of the cauda equina on the right side. Bilateral facetopathy is noted, especially at the L5/S1 level.
I am referred to neurosurgeon but appointment is not for four weeks, should I be avoiding any activity in the meantime?
