Hi
Im new to this site..and could do with advice. Last summer ,after lifting too much,I suffered thoracic pain and a right weak leg.MRI scan show T11-T12 prolapse. I have tried everything from aids to alternative treatments,physio,chyropractice and traditional pain killers. One year on and I am now struggling to walk as the right leg is very weak and jerky. I have perineal numbness and continual pins and needles and burning in the right leg and around the right rib cage. I have bladder control but constant sense of needing to go and my bowels are no longer functioning without continual medication.I have to use a wheel chair to get around as exercise now makes my leg more jerky and harder to control. A new MRI scan showed that the T12 prolapse has slipped slightlyand is calcified but the T11 is reduced. I have seen 2 neurosurgeons,one says there is no problem .Another wants to operate to relieve possible nerve pressure. Why are the opinions so different? Has anyone else suffered this? Can anyone advise me?
