Just found out offically why my back kept getting progressively worse since the car accident few years ago I have buldging disc after the CT scan with contrast and have an appointment with the pain management doc next month. ( 2 spots )
I asked my primary care doc if it will get worse (she said it was impossible to tell) as I do not want to do anything with doctors right now due to covid thing but it is starting to affect my ability to excerise even getting out of the car it blinds me til I twist my body and get it back into alignment in frequency.
My question is what do I expect? I did physical therapy last month and it was not helping whatsoever. I know each persons case is different. Why didnt my doctor refer me to a back specalist? Why a pain management doc? Thats for pain relief, thats not for fixing my back. I dont want pain meds nor do I want to be getting shots in my back. I already have signs of mild arthritis in my bones all over. Including the back. I etopped doing knee shots because they didnt make any difference and I read up they destroy it even further with more useage. I dont want that to be happening to my back
