Suggest Treatment For Herniated Disk In The Lower Back
Hello- I have recently had a CT scan that revealed a herniated disk in my lower back. I go for an MRI August 19th and see a neurosurgeon in 10-12 months.. I now suffer from drop foot in my left leg/foot and have difficulty accepting that this has happened because I ve been complaining about back pain for years to my family doctor. He s done nothing.. Now my hands and feet are causing me great pain. My feet hurt so bad that I can t even put enough pressure on them to walk or stand. My hands hurt so badly that I can t grip anything or close them or open them without great pain.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it was the history of herniated disk of dorsal spine and right now it is the history of arm pain then it may not be due to old history but it could be just muscular spasm or it may be due to some general debility which can be managed with some vitamins supplement and analgesic and it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
