I'm about 4 months into recovering from a D12 compression fracture, but I'm still experiencing severe back pain and my legs feel like they're twisting. I'm worried and wondering how much longer it might take for the D12 area to heal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these lingering symptoms?

I'm dealing with a mild disc bulge at the L5S1 level and kind of confused about which specialist to see. Should I go to an orthopedic doctor or a neurosurgeon for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

For a mild disc bulge at the L5-S1 level, it's recommended to consult an Orthopedic Doctor (Orthopedic Spine Specialist) initially, as they can assess and manage most spinal conditions, including disc bulges; if surgery is required or if there are neurological concerns, your orthopedic doctor may refer you to a Neurosurgeon for further evaluation and treatment.
