Bulging disc surgery?
I have 3 bulging dics and a torn disc. I’ve had 2 epidurals and have been going to physical therapy. After my epidurals I have not able to walk for about a week. After that week, for about 3 days I was pain free. But then the pain started coming back, each day it gets a little more painful. It’s getting to the point where the pain meds aren’t helping. I go to see the doctor next week, but I am not sure what questions I need to ask about surgery. Can anyone help give me an idea about what I should ask the doctor?
I have 4 different strengths of pain meds. Also, I am 25 years old and am concerned about getting pregnant after having the surgery – if it will weaken my discs and make them more likely to leak.
1st of all call ur dr right away let him or her whats going on with you. you may need to slow down on ur p.t.and ask ur dr for stronger meds they always start you out on the week ones.
