I've been dealing with really bad pain in my back, thighs, and legs along with headaches. I got two spine injections but they didn't help at all. Now the doctor is suggesting spine surgery as the last option. Is surgery really necessary or are there other treatments I could try first?

While surgery might be the next step after injections haven't provided relief, it's worth exploring other treatment options before committing to it. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle adjustments should be considered. A second opinion from a spine specialist could also be beneficial to ensure all available options are explored.

View allI have a disc bulge at C5-C7 according to my MRI report which shows cervical canal dimensions from C2 to C7 as C2C3 11mm, C3C4 9mm, C4C5 11mm, C5C6 10mm, C6C7 9mm. Doctors say this is causing my left arm and wrist pain, making it hard to sleep or work. I've seen multiple doctors but no one has given me a clear solution. Is this condition curable? Right now I'm doing isometric neck exercises but wondering if surgery might be needed. If I wanted to consult you in person, where in OMR road could I meet you?
