I had accident in January..had concussion, bulging disks in neck and lower back. The symptoms of muscle weakness, tingling, aches in arms and legs, have not subsided. New doctor thinks its a spinal cord injury, and he is re-doing mri of cervical. Also said there were spots and something is definately going on..might not be related to the accident..but the old mri was not a clear image so he recommended another mri.
1. When i called the next day, the assistant said his notes were written that i might have a spinal cord sprain?? No such thing right?
2. She said he thought that because of the neuro exam which included Hyper tendon reflex (i remember him checking out my left leg and noting a bigger reflex when he hit it).
3. This may sound crazy, but i told him my face feels numb mostly left side of face and under chin. 2 doctors told me its probably anxiety..If i have a bulge at c3/4, c4/5 and c5/6, could it be related to the disks? No way of knowing if this is nerve related?
