Hi.

If your current neurologist does not have any more ideas on what is wrong with your daughter, it might be advisable to look for a second opinion from another neurologist, probably at the university.

She could be suffering from a more serious neurological syndrome rather than just a complication of the disc bulging.

I do hope she gets better soon. Good luck.

yes we had a neurologist treat her in hospital and all labs were perfect electro lights all that stuff he left scrating his head and told me that we have to wait till some thing else goes wrong or it gets better on its own .easy for him to say my daughter is getting around with the help of a walker and is in bed 18 hours a day. should i take her to the universtey . sorry about spelling and gramer

Hi.

I understand what you may be going through right now and I know it is really difficult for a parent to see his/her child suffering. However, I would advise you to try and stay calm and strong for your child.

Do you know what level of the spine the disc bulging was found and how severe it is as seen on MRI? The disc bulges may or may not be related with your daughter's symptoms depending on the level of spine involvement.

Has a neurosurgeon or neurologist evaluated your daughter? If not, it would be highly advisable to have one assess her symptoms as soon as possible.

Her symptoms can be caused by other conditions including vitamin and mineral deficiencies, some endocrine disorders as well as some neurological conditions. Work-up must be done to determine/rule-out any association with the aforementioned causes.

Hope this helps.
