I have a bulging disc in the l4 l5 region. I have pain and hip pain also. In April I walked a lot on a vacation trip. That night my lower back went into extreme spasm. I could not walk or sit without extreme pain. I went to the Er and was given a pain shot and prednisone. By mid may, I started developing neuropathy symptoms. Do you think that episode would be trauma enough to cause Neuropathy? Danielle

I have had multiple MRI's that show no compression. The symptoms started within 3 weeks after the muscle spasms and ER visit.

Can you meet with your neurologist or the doctor who dx the bulging disc? From my experience and others who have been to the ER they are not always familiar with nerve conditions etc.

--but peripheral neuropathy can stem from hundreds of causes, and can start anywhere along the peripheral nerve tracts, not just at the spinal nerve roots.
Spinal nerve root compromise is only one type of neuropathy, generally termed radiculopathy ("radic" = "root" in Latin). |
