I have herniated discs in my cervical spine but my doctor/s won't do anything about it?

Question:

I have had MRIs and I think it is showing central stenosis but my doctors don't want to listen. They think I am making it up. I get dizzy when I lift my head up, my pain get worse when I move, I can feel weird feeling down my arms into my legs, and I lose sense of touch and feeling in them. What should I do and is this serious?

Answers:
Keep going to a dr. until you find one that you believe. Either that, or maybe you can talk to them and ask them about the MRI's you had, and ask them to explain why you are having these symptoms. Question them about the MRI and have them explain it to you.

Go to a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon who specializes in disc diseases they can help you. definitely get another opinion from one of them. Two of my patients have got spinal surgery in India.One was treated for spondylolistheis by spinal fusion and the other for disc replacement.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to nerve compression have totally gone.

Spinal Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as spine surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.

The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your spine surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.i strongly recommend you to talk to this company,checkout your options with surgery from them.Your symptoms are very similar to my patients and i am sure that forerunners can be of help to you.
