MRI Shows Bulging Discs. Weak Leg, Tingling Arm, Difficult To Urinate. Help
Hi. I have 2 bulging discs to the right of the spine. Ive been mri scaned an results show the bulging discs mid way up my back. Ive had this problem now for 2yrs an my right leg feels inflamed up to my ribs. My left leg has become so week an movement is very restricted. My left arm tingles to my fingers Ive been to countless doctors an specialists physios etc an nothin has helped. I stopped work for 4 an a half mths while I was gettin treatment from physios an it only made me feel worse. Im back to work now an stopped the treatment as I felt it was causing irritation. I also find it difficult to urinate at times. I would waid ages to go an only a trickle would come out an id still feel that im not empty but can go anymore. Can u help me with this problem

Hello,
I went through your complaints. I assume that you are explaining the MRI of cervical spines. If you are explaining the MRI of the lumbar spines, do MRI of the cervical spines and CT brain also .
Consult a Neuro surgeon as you are getting Bladder symptoms and tingling in the upper limb. He will give you the exact picture and whether surgical correction is needed. But do the consultation at the earliest.
Best wishes
