Numb legs: Concerned about lumbar & cervical spine fusion
Spine Health | Last Active: 2 minutes ago | Replies (19)Comment receiving replies
Thank you for everyone giving their feedback. Today, I woke up both legs were totally numb.And I keep frequently having a run to the bathroom soft stools.I do not want irreversible nerve damage. My doctor suggested a fusion, but his office is not communicating with me. I went to the hospital this week.Walking clinic and my doctor twice.And i'm not getting any help.
I order I was scared and ordered some supplements online that were very expensive.They're coming in a couple days that promise to help the symptoms.
Is surgery the only option for spinal senosis?If you have numbness in the legs, it's hard to walk throbin cramping?
Thank you

@cocobean26 Get to a big city hospital like Mt Sinai in Miami. They were the only spine people that helped me.
Doctors won’t admit to you that your case is over their capabilities- they will just say nothing or something like ”I don’t see anything i can fix” i took it as nothing was wrong but what he meant was my case was way over his head. I had one doctor running down the hall with my husband following asking questions! ALWAYS GET YOUR DISKS WHEN YOU GET ANY KIND OF SCAN/xray (read ps at end) RIGHT THEN & THERE. They are yours. Send the disk with a letter to the biggest hospital - online for Chief of ORTHOPEDIC or NEUROLOGY. Research him/her online (my best spine specialist is a woman but she moved to Pleasanton, California outside San Francisco-i hate California-but i will fly cross country if i need to-LONG way to go…sometimes i send her my disks and a letter of what is going on & a gift card and she will write me her opinion that is right every time.
Ps Some States will not share test results with other out of state Doctors. You are $$$ they will not give up. Why it is important the get & save all tests info & disks.

@cocobean26 sounds like you just herniated. You should go to the emergency room or the doctor or urgent care and have them diagnose your problem asap. You have all the signs of needing surgery.
