I am having a hard time dealing with my P.M. Dr, re: lower back disc bulges. Can you refer me to a recommended surgeon or other P.M. Dr in the greater AAAAAAA area for better PM?

HI IAM DR USMAN
WELL I THINK YOUR DISC BULGES IN LOWER LUMBAR VERTEBRA ARE CAUSING PAIN. WELL IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WITHOUT A MRI REPORT THAT WHETHER YOU REQUIRE SURGERY OR MERE PHYSIOTHERAPY CAN HELP YOU BECAUSE IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOUR DISC BULGES ARE CAUSING NERVE ROOT COMPRESSION. PLEASE ASK YOUR LOCAL GP TO REF YOU TO A GOOD NEUROSURGEON WITH YOUR MRI REPORTS THANKS
