For Pete's sake DON'T GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. You need to be referred to a Neurosurgeon for an opinion!!! I'm not saying you need surgery because they WON'T do surgery on bulging discs -- but you could at least get an opinion.

One false move by a chiropractor could land you in a wheelchair or paralyze you. Im not just talking - 2 different Neurosurgeons told me this. So please - stay away from them.

Also, you would benefit from physical therapy. Many times your pain, etc. can be relieved from doing gentle exercises. So ask your doc for a referral to Pt.

Since you've already had an MRI, you'll want to get copies and a copy of the report from your Chiro -- IF he'll give them to you. You might have to pay for them, as you normally have to at a hospital. They usually cost about $5.00 per sheet.

Best of luck and God bless. let us know how you come out. Hugs, Lee
