What Type Of Prognosis Is Suggested For Herniated T7-8 With Spinal Cord Stenosis Narrowing From T8-12?

I am getting ready to undergo disc replacement surgery for a herniated C5-6. I recently has a thoracic MRI that identified at least 7 hemangiomas. That largest of which was 7mm. I was also diagnosed with a herniated T7-8 with spinal cord stenosis and narrowing from T8-12. I am 37 years old and a retired paramedic and firefighter. What type prognosis can I expect?

Hello,

I have studied your case and your report.
Yes you can do disc replacement surgery hemangioma will not affect prognosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

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.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
