by cz1970, Mar 08, 2008 05:39PM

My symptoms are listed under the Critique my Timeline post. So, How do you find out or how do you know for SURE what C-spine bulge can cause......????

Hi. I'm sure no expert on this so I hope our members with spine problems will join in here. However, in general, lots of people have cervical disk bulges, including me. For this to produce any symptoms, though, there has to be some compression or pressure on the spinal cord.

TO MY UNDERSTANDING A BULGING DISK MUST HAVE SIGNIFICANT CORD IMPINGEMENT IN ORDER TO CAUSE LEG SYMPTOMS.

ITS BEST FOR THE NEUROSURGEON TO REVEIW YOUR MRI'S TO SAY WHAT IF ANY SYMPTOMS THE BULGING DISK IS CAUSING.
