You mention neck MRI with a small herniation. Have you had a back MRI all the way down your spine? The first thing I thought of when reading the first sentence of your post was “herniated disk pressing on some nerves”. I am similarly unsure how they could be so certain the neck herniation was not the issue, unless you were with an expert. If you just got the results, it is possible it used to be a BIG herniation and it is still upsetting all the surrounding tissue.
Have you been on any anti-inflammatories (steroidal or non-steroidal) for any length of time?
I am not a doctor, I only speak out of some personal experience.
Well yes the mri says small herinatoon but doctor like neuro saying impossible to face to numb out from
Neck??? It doesnt go up… i just did an emg anways im
So confused
If I understand what you are saying, they are telling you that a herniation where you have it in the neck would not likely cause numbing and tingling in the lower extremities. That sounds correct to me, but that is based completely on my own similar experiences.
I don’t know, man. Could be they haven’t found some other sources of inflammation or just straight up nerve damage somewhere along the spine. Did they MRI your ENTIRE spinal column? I would keep pushing and asking questions if I were you, even if it means getting a second opinion. Have they offered to do any kind of cortisol injection where your small herniation is to see if that makes any of the symptoms go away?
