Chronic pain of bulging disc


Q:
Age: 33   Sex: F   Concern: bulging disc  

I was in an auto accident 3.5 years ago. I was diagnose

with a buldging disc at c6 and on at L1-S5. 1 year after

the accident I had to have my thyroid removed. I would

like to know if there is anything else that can be done to

relieve my chronic pain other than pain meds. and physical

therapy? My nuerologist says because my dsc are not

herniated I am not a surgical candidate. Please help me.

Thank You, MS Gibson

You can consider an epidural. Please see an interventional physician for a consult.
