Hubs saw spine dr today. I liked the dr. Male,40ish,with a
sense of humor and not surgery happy.
He had the pics of the actual MRI and hubs spine is in bad shape. Bulging discs on all levels of the spine with the bottom levels being the worse. Also degenerative disk (bone) disease,spinal stenosis moderate to severe bilateral foraminal stenosis and advanced ar
thritis. Pinched nerves are causing the pain he gets down his legs. Dr, has 4 options with surgery in last place. 1st option is chiropractor,acupuncture,therapy etc etc. Option 2 is try to treat the inflammation. Since hubs has been seeing a chiropractor for years he's moving to option 2 which is 600ml of ibuprofen 3 times a day. Hubs had to ok that with his own dr first. 2 weeks only and he has to call and let spine dr if it helps or not. Option 3 is a steroid shot.
