Neck Disc Herniation
Q.
I have had 3
Prolotherapy
sessions to my neck. I am still having a lot of pain and stiffness on
both sides and up the back of my head, along with bad
headaches
over my right
eye. I recently had a
MRI
of my cervical spine, which showed a large bilateral protrusion at
C5-6
Level, narrowing the foramina to the uncal vertebrae joints,
obliterating the subarachoid space posteriorly and anteriorly. A small
central protrusion at C4-5 Level, mildly narrowing the formina. And a
annular bulge at C3-4 level, with no narrowing. I was told to have an
epidural
to help break up the
disc. I never heard of this before. I had an epidural in low back
several yrs. ago, which didn't help and ended up having a laminectomy.
I've been putting up with this neck, headaches and both
shoulder, arm,
hand, pain and numbness for over 2 years now, which has gotten a lot
worse the last few months. Thanks for your input!
A.
If the disc
herniation is obliterating the subarachnoid space this could be serious
and I see the surgeon and also the neurologist or physiatrist for an EMG/NCV/SSEP
test to see if you have a
pinched nerve in your neck or slowing of nerve
impulses in your central nervous system. If you do then surgery is
probably your best bet. The key in regard to Prolotherapy success is
whether or not a nerve is getting compromised. If the answer is ‘no’
then most certainly you should respond to Prolotherapy. If a person has
had three Prolotherapy sessions and ‘no response’ and the EMG/NCV of
both upper extremities shows a pinched nerve then a consultation with a
surgeon should be done.
