How Can A Bulging Disc At The Bottom Of The Spine And Arthritis In The Legs Be Managed?
a few years ago I went to the clinic...my legs and back were really sore...they sent me for an mri...when the results came back they told me that I had arthritis in my legs and back also had 3 bulging disks at the bottom of my spine ...the doctor told me there was nothing they can do for me ...gave me a prescription for ibuprofen and muscle relaxant for the spasm in my legs and sent me on my way ....lately it has been worse ...feels like all the muscles in my legs don t work like they should

Hi,
The combination of leg arthritis with multiple discs will give you a painful life. I suggest mild pain killers, and physiotherapy for back and possibly joint replacement, if arthritis is bad. Use of cane while walking also helps.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
