Difficulty In Standing Or Sitting For Long Hourse. MRI Showed Disc Prolapse, Nerve Damage. Advised Inserting Transmitter In The Back. Will It Help?
hello i fell at work from a tall chair and i had a MRI done which shows that i have a prolapse disc L4/L5 and severe nerve damage from the root. my doctor here was telling me of having a transmitter insert in my back. Do you think this would help as i can t sit or stand long. I am experiencing numbness in my legs and buring in both of my legs and back, sometimes even in my vagina
Hi,
The transmitter insert will reduce your pain however it may not be a permanent solution to your problem. Do you have any decreased sensation in legs or any weakness? If you have neurological deficit and you exhausted all conservative treatment options then its better to consider surgical option to solve the problem permanently.
Hope this answer satisfies your query.
Thanks
