Bulging disc preventing me from walking and excruciating pain..

[Ptm123]

I read the page Hernuated disc pain preventing me from walking.I can totally relate to all those symptoms.. I just got an MRI from hospital emergency room they kept me 2 nights and said I have bulging discs on my low back and discharged me. My problem is no Health Insurance doctor wouldn't even talk to me after MRI sent in nurse to tell me. I went to Er 3 months ago they did nothing but tell me I had sciatica. I thought it would go away .I have been suffering in so much pain on my but thighs and knee. Tears constantly running down my face.Im so tired of putting my family through this nightmare. They have to get me breakfast lunch dinner water.I try my best not to bother them because they all work full time.Then have to deal with me after work .Can you please get me some cereal or a glass of water. I just feel like they are so tired of taking care of me they dont say nothingI've been so lucky to have their help I really can't express enough how much I appreciate all the things they do for me .I'm in so much pain I have to move my left leg very slowly by my hands and same with my but to move myself in bed..i don't know what I would do without my walker it's a life saver. I'd probably pee the bed. I'm gonna try to see if I can get disability insurance from SS office to see some kind of doctor.I don't know which type of doctor I should find if I get insurance any suggestions?? Sorry for babbling so much.lol

I had sciatica it was so bad I was crying 😢 on every movement doctor gave me a weeks worth of diazepam and that helped me x

Physical therapy can ease some bulging discs back into place. Some bulging discs can be surgically "shaved" a bit. If your discs are actually bulging and not herniated, those approaches can really help. If they are ruptured, a neurosurgeon may be needed.

I had to have the neurosurgery twice Mine were herniated in my neck and I lost the use of my arm for a while. Have almost 100 percent use back. The pain can be very intense.

So I think you need to try to see a neurologist first and he/she can decide if you need to see a neurosurgeon.

I wish you well.

Oh you poor thing with no health insurance😢 Here in the uk we are so blessed to have our NHS... We do all pay towards it but nothing like paying out for private care. I really hope you can get something sorted out🙏🏻❤️
