Hello! I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 12 but nothing was ever done about it.When I turned 28 I had a hysterectomy which threw me into sudden menopause.....at age 30 I began having back pain. Now at age 34 the back pain is unbearable on most days.I just got the results from my MRI and it showed degenerative arthritis ,multiple bulging discs , and one ruptured disc. The ruptured disc is the one closest to my tail bone.
I have no idea of the degree of my curvature but you can see the hump on my back through clothes whether I am standing or sitting. I do not work and I have no clue as to how I have gotten so many problems with my discs. I have numbing in my legs, feet, hands and one area on the laft buttock stays numb.
My spine actually feels bruised when someone touches it. Has anyone had this?I am supposed to find out when my appt with neurosurgeon is today. What can I expect? Will they do surgery on my discs? I have never had back surgery and therefore I am scared to death.
Please someone help me! I need words of wisdom and words of comfort.Sorry this was so long but thank you in advance for reading.
