Mri results...bulging discs

[d3r3k]

Been having terrible back pain for quite some time now. Aside from many other health problems. Got another MRI here are the results. Anyone ever deal with this issue? The pain is terrible mostly when I try to sleep. Im ok during the day unless I straighten my back and flex it. Just wondering what you guys did for pain? I haven’t slept a full night in a lonngg time. This wasnt due to lifting IMO, i have an illness which is slowly destroying my body, eating at my bones and joints. Should be seeing the chiropractor this week for his opinion.

from what I can remember 10+ years ago i had 3 fully degenerated, a nasty herniated, spurs and narrowing of the spine. At the time the dr wanted to fuse my back comparing it to an elderly mans
I refused the fusion, chiropractor has helped on flare ups, core strengthening and being very cautious when working any movement with the back

I have narrowing of the spine (L4-L5-S1) and degenerative disease (arthrosis). Me being older than most of you, I have learnt to live with it. The more I move around the less pain I have. When pain is really bad I see the chiropractor or the acupuncturist.

Thats what sucks. Im fine during the day. But sleeping is damn near possible. I’ve been at the chiropractor. He’s the one who ordered the mri, I hope there’s something that can be done, chiro adjustments aint doing much

 

[GRIM]

how long you been seeing chiro? also if one chiro doesnt help try another they have different techniques

 

[d3r3k]

On and off for about 3 yrs. i had a pinched nerve in my neck first when i went to see him. Then this started a while later. I tried 2 others but I like this guy best. He specializes in sports and weightlifting and lofts himself so he seems very knowledgeable.
