My pain started from 2 fingers of right hand around 1.5 years ago and has reached to both my arms and upper back. Docs treated all abnormalities found in blood tests, arthritis problem ruled out bt mri of spine showed :partial disc desiccation at multiple levels. Diffuse disc bulge is seen at c5-6 level, indenting anterior thecal sac, ap canal diameter is 10 mm. Posterior disc bulge at l4/l5 with annular tear causing thecal sac indentation. Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is seen at mid dorsal levels. Ketoflam along with gabapin nt for 3 weeks reduced some pain but alone gabapin nt is not helping at all. The pain is so severe that I find simple tasks (such as brushing teeth / holding mug or phone etc.) so difficult. Following exercises n using warm gel pad too. Initially had tried homeopathy n ayurveda too wid no benefit. Will problem with my spine ever reverse?

Hi spine problems are sometimes frustrating. They don’t get better soon, as never doesn’t listen to you. They need time and patience. Sometimes it never get better. You need to keep your options open. Regarding your scan, you do have problem, doesn’t sound severe compression. Other compression of nerves will happen as coincidence. Like cubital tunnel syndrome if little and ring finger involved, if index and middle finger involved means carpal tunnel syndrome. Once someone correct these, things will improve. Wish you all the best. Get it checked by orthopaedic surgeon. Update me.
