My doctor would like me to have a lumbar puncture as the final test in a diagnosis of MS. I have some bothersome symptoms, but not what you would call a flare up. I do not want to have a lumbar puncture at this time if it will not show evidence during remission.

I have a bulging disc in my lower back, but I am also having issues with my arms and fingers going numb. I had a serious car wreck nine years ago, Is it possible the first symptoms of a back problem are presenting their selves now?

Steroid shot for bulging disc?




Hi, not too long ago my doctor told me I have a bulging disc and that’s what’s been causing the pain in my back. He said they could give me a shot to help with it. I’m thinking it’s just a go in and get a shot type thing. Turns out they’d be putting me to sleep and giving me the shot in my back. I’m wondering about the side affects of having this done, does it work, and are there any other alternatives for a bulging disc.

Or any other back support roll I can attach to my chair.

the MRI stated mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. My question is since there really is nothing i can do, would a therapeutic massage possibly help relieve the tingling?

This is actually for my mother. She has a bulging disc that is badly aggrevated at the moment. She works in a model home, selling new homes, so she is up on her feet and then down in the chair constantly.

She doesn’t have basic medical or the money for a cortisone shot right now. At present, I have her taking 800mg ibuprofren and 1000mg acetominophen every 6 hours to help manage the pain.

What can she do so that she isn’t close to tears at work for the next 4 days??

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

PS - We have been alternating heat and ice as well.

Or why cant it be used for someone with increased intra cranial pressure in general? Please could you explain what pressure changes occur as textbooks are not clear on this. Thanks.
