According to the mri report the patient has multiple level disc bulges more severe in lumbar than in cervical region. In more simpler words there r cartilage discs between bones of our entire spine . Our spinal cord and the nerves going to our hands and legs are behind these discs..so when these discs bulge posteriorly they press on the nerves and the cord .This can cause pain,tingling,loss of sensation,loss of power in our limbs.
However we treat the patient not the mri .So we need to evaluate the patient and see what problems she has clinically ..that along with mri and x rays will decide the further plan of action.
Next Steps
visit an orthopedic spine surgeon.dont delay or ignore.
Health Tips
watch out for loss of bowel and bladder control,loss or decreased power in any limb , if any of this happens go to the emergency room of any hospital.
