Questions and answers on "Spondylosis"
Is it possible to have bulging discs without spondylosis? Specifically, I suffered a traumatic injury resulting in a herniated disc between my T7-8 and an annualar tear between my L4-5. I have 2 doctors who state that there is no foramenal narrowing. Mri of the lumbar shows bulging discs with normal cauda equina, no paraspinous abnormality, no areas of marrow edema , no spondylolsis or ligamentous damage, and no osseous lesion , yet one doctor insists that I have spondylosis.
MD HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here and the report of MRI I could say that more important is the clinical symptoms if you do not have any symptoms then just forget about the findings, if this is manifesting in any way then the...
my doc says I have arthritis in my spine.. what do you think? I have pain in my LEFT ear, shoulder, chest, side, neck ( sometimes swells) back and sometimes hip/ leg.. I also get tingling in my arm & face and I suffer from migraines. my pain is constant but sometimes worst than other times. all in my left side of my body. it hurts the most in my neck & shoulder
MD Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms that you have could be related to a muscular pain due to poor posture, disc prolapse or spondylosis. An MRI scan of the spine will help in detecting the exact diagnosis. Vitamin D 3 deficiency and electrolyte imbalance also needs to be ruled out....

MD In my opinion you should first undergo sputum for AFB or bronchoscopy and BAL analysis. As pneumonia and TB both can cause pulmonary shadows so bacteriological diagnosis is important as TB treatment last for atleast 6 months. So better to confifm 100% before starting AKT. And you can definitely...

MD
Diprospan injection is a combination of betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone dipropionate. Like all the brands of betamethasone injectables, it is a corticosteroid anti-inflammatory. It works by reducing the inflammation and swelling that is putting pressure on nerves and causing...

MD I m a 38 year old female diagnosed 2 years ago with spondylosis in my neck and back (C4,5,and 6 and L3,4,5 and moving to 6). I walk 6 or 7 days a week but would really like to do some jogging and do a 5k. Is jogging okay with this diagnosis? I really don t want to cause myself more harm later.
MD I am 55 and have depression and anxiety symptoms. Also had a spinal fusion C5/6 last Feb for spondylosis. Was referred to PT for treatment to relive remaining numbness but he suggested seeing neurologist. Saw a neurologist who was dismissive of my problems which are trouble swallowing, poor hand/eye coordination, severe constipation and autonomic nervous system symptoms of tachycardia and excessive sweating. Collapsed in street a few weeks ago and had glucose level in blood of 3.1- banged back of skull but was not concussed although had momentary loss of consciousness. I have a feeling that I could have Parkinsons disease- 2 odd facts being a sudden craving for bananas, which I hated before and starting to smoke for first time-I have read that these 2 things raise Dopamine levels. Have MRI booked for 5/4 but understand that PD doesn t show up on them. From these details, what do you think?
