Default MRI reveals bulging disk

I recently had MRI because of PN type of pain. Dr said I have bulging disk at thoracic area. He said this causes pain radiating to left side. That is where I have most of my pain on left side of waist and abdomen. He asked if I had ever been in accident and I said no.

He suggested treatment of getting steroid shot to ease the nerve. Anyone ever have this and how did it work?

Hi ~ Sometimes the injections work, and sometimes not. Do you have your MRI report? If you do, post it here so we can help you more. If we don't see it, it's hard to help.

So if you can post it, we'll try to help, ok? Hugs, Lee
