Can Disc Compression On The Nerve And Herniated Disc Be Repaired?
On this past Wednesday I could not move my legs. I had to call 911 and the emts took me to our hometown hospital and then I was transferred out to Chattanooga but the finally said i have herniated disc in neck and back and i had a disc compressed on the nerve and i had no use of my legs. I am in horrible pain days and especially nights that I am actually crying when the pain is that bad. Can I be fixed?

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you have done the MRI of the spine and it shows the herniated disc that you mentioned.
Since you are in a lot of pain and you could not move the leg which means the the nerve is compressed from the disc, then I think that you should discuss with your doctor for surgical treatment as the next step of treatment.
Wish you quick recovery.
