Cervical C5-C6 with left arm numbness possible carpal tunnel
by canaacn, Jun 08, 2008 11:53PM
What is really going on I don't understand all of this C5-C6 ruptured disk on the right side. I have more symptoms on the left side with numbess. I also have L5, disk degenerative disease and bulging disk. I was diagnosed in 2003 and I still have problems. I will see a nuerologist in the next 3 weeks. I need answers. I am in the military almost at the end of my career and I know that I have had enough of being a guinea pig. I don't want to have to rely on pills for the rest of my life. I am only 34 yrs. old. I am a woman of faith and know that GOD will see me through all of this. I am so blessed to have found out and know that it is not all in my head. I need prayer and answers and I know they are on the way. If you have any further questions that I could be asking I welcome them. Thanks and God Bless.

From the way you described your problems, it seems that your pain symptoms are indeed complex and may involve more than just the obvious lesions in your spine. Pain is a conglomeration of physical, emotional, and psychological aspects all playing together to alter perceptions of pain. The ruptured discs may really be the culprit in your symptoms and I agree with a neurologist consult for it. Your neurologist may be able to find more things contributing to the pain than just the spine problem. If your neurologist deems it necessary, he or she may refer you to a neurosurgeon for a surgical intervention.
I hope you will be rid of this pain soon. Regards and God bless.
