specialist for bulging disc and pinched nerve Posted: 01-07-08 14:33pm
I went to see my regular family Doctor
because I was having very bad pain in my
left shoulder and arm, I also had some
numbness in my fingers. Anyway, he had me
go do an MRI and after reviewing the
results referred me to a neurosurgeon . My
question is what would be the best kind of
specialist to go see. My MRI report stated
that I have a minor bulging disc " C-7 and
C-6" In my cervical spine that is pinching
a nerve. I have heard a few bad things
about neurosurgeons and am just wondering
if I should just find another kind of
Doctor.
