Dear Dr.
I am 50 years old, I have a multi disc prolapses in C5 - C6 , T3 -T4 , L1 - L2, but the thoracic disc prolapse is the most effective on me, also it is the final one that occurred to me since May 2010, about 7months ago, in very silly accident, when I was trying to lift a heavy bag up in bad posture, it also the same reason for the first accident of the other two protrusions (the cervical and the lumber) before 2 years ago.
I am undergoing now from hard pain in mid back and neck, also of mid and upper back numbness and tingling and numbness of hands when ever I have a little pressure on it, pain in neck it may be of the C5-C6 disc prolapse or from the thoracic one.
I am restricted in work, not to lift any heavy things cause it make me suffering unendurable pain, I tried every things but did`nt work, all doctors here in Iraq and also in Syria not recommended the idea of surgery, just said the I should avoid lifting heavy things also trying to walk and decreasing overweight of my body, which is now 90kg and I am 167cm tall.
I am suffering now from heart palpation, also I can feel the nerves in many parts of my body that moves very fast from time to time, also I feel the low jaw trembling very fast when ever I put the lower jaw in touch to the upper jaw, and also suffering sometimes tinnitus from both ears, weakness in arms, loss of fine control in both hands but especially in the left one, some time I fined my palms get to blue but return to white, I feel the pin and tingling in both hands, and feeling like there is not enough blood that comes to my both hands. i am very worried about my future, please tell in true, will I be paralyzed ??? and when???
Is there any kind of help?? is there any minimally invasive surgery for the thoracic prolapse in middle east.and what do you advice me, doctors here in Iraq they do`nt advice me for the surgery
carpal tunnel entrapment test was negative.
