Read MoreEnlarged C1
I just need another perspective on what my chiro told me about my 6 year old son. Upon feeling where the C1 was, he said it was enlarged.
I asked him what that meant and he said it didn’t really mean anything but it was just rare to find. Could you provide any insight on that please? Thanks.
Difference of opinion on bulging disks, etc?
(3 discussions)
I saw an orthopedic spine specialist, neurologist, rheumatologist and my primary doctor and all say the tingling and numb sensations I get in my lower legs and feet could not be related to my back. My MRIs show a minor bulging disk I believe around L4 or L5 and also I believe the same around T3 and/or T7? Can’t recall. Also shows minor foraminal narrowing and facet arthrosis. I have minor pain in the mid back, what feels like spasms and also tingling, pain and numbness in the feet and also some of the sensations into the lower leg. It for the most part vanishes at night when relaxing and sleeping. It returns with sitting, standing, walking, etc. The M.D.s say now way! They think it is my feet. They don’t think I have a neurologic or rheumatologic condition.My Chiropractor says my symtoms could absolutely be related to the back no matter how minor the MRI appears. I went through my MRI with my chiropractor and she feels it is related. I have been going for adjustments and decompression table for about 3 weeks or so. I did realize I may not have been doing the table correctly because it was pulling me along. Apparently I was supposed to hold on to the side of the table so I wonder if the last 3 weeks were wasted. Anyway, I have a few more months of steady treatment and I hope I see results.Any thoughts on why the variance in opinion???

Intervertevral Disc Sybndrome/Lamanectomy
I have a lamanectomy in 08/96 C3 – C6 and a fusion C7- T1. I am being told that I can get full disability because my records does not state that I in the Intervertebral Disc Syndrome.
I think I read some where that to be in the syndrome you had to first have the injury.
What shall I do.
Neck/Back issues past several years
Ok this is a really hard thing to explain. First off to say, it is not painful, just very discomforting. My neck, for approximately the last 5 years, has been weird, it like feels uneven like one side is heavier than the other so I crack it ( I hear it cracking but no one else does ) but I crack it constantly and its embarassing. Some days are better than others but if I try to not crack it, it seems to make it harder.
Just recently my back has started to become the same way, approximately 6 months, I twist it often trying to make it “even”. I almost feel pressure on my heart when I crack my back…
Also like to add that I can’t sit still in bed because I am always needing to crack my back to “re addjust it”… I end up cracking my neck or back and it feels better for a second but then not long after, it feels lighter on one side.
I don’t understand why it is like this and I am scared it is just going to get worse, please anything would help.
Pain in upper thigh.
(5 discussions)
I have a very sharp pain in my right upper thigh/groin area… it has got progressively worse over the past 10 days – and occurs now with much greater frequency – it’s not there all the time, just when I walk – but quick and nasty and stabbing – could this be referred pain from elsewhere? I have a high pain threshold but this is too awful.
