Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the last 5 months, I have had severe pain. I went to the ER in March and they said I had DDD of 3 discs and sciatica. My left leg hurts from the hip to knee and is numb from knee to toes. There is occasional shooting pain all the way down. My left arm goes numb. My right hip hurts. I get burning between my shoulder blades. And I get a pain behind my right ear that goes down my neck. All this also gives me headaches. I have tried a chiropractor but feel it isn t helping. I work at a desk all day. I get up and walk/stretch as much as I can during the day. It hurts to sit, stand, and lay. I feel like it s getting worse and don t really know why or what I should do.
Medication like methylcobalamine with neurotropic like pregabalin will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. You can send your MRI films or report. So that I can help you better.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Take care.
