What Causes Ruptured Cervical Discs With Spinal Cord Impingement?

Hi I have 2 ruptured cervical discs with spinal cord impingement, while I was at the surgeons office I was also told I have a pituitary adenoma..anyway, I also have ms now the surgeon seems to blame my my symptoms on everything else. I know some of the symptoms are similar, but isn t the spinal cord issue kind of important not to be taken care of?

Hello,

Symptoms of MS differ from symptoms caused by ruptured discs, MS symptoms are more general and fluctuant, symptoms caused by ruptured disc are well localized.

Adenoma also may cause hormonal symptoms but not similar to MS or ruptured disc.

I think that ruptured discs related symptoms should be treated correctly because of the possibility of improvement after the treatment. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
