Experiencing sensory loss in my index and middle finger with a current-like sensation on the radial side. MRI shows cervical compression at C3-C4-C5. As an athlete, will I need surgery or can rest help? Will I be able to get back to my exercises again?
Given the sensory loss in your index and middle finger with a current-like sensation on the radial side, coupled with cervical compression at C3-C4-C5 as shown by the MRI, it's highly likely you're experiencing cervical radiculopathy and possibly radial nerve entrapment. Rest and conservative treatment may be beneficial, but surgery may be necessary if symptoms don't improve or worsen. Whether you can return to your exercises depends on the severity and response to treatment

I've been diagnosed with lumbar bulges in three spots along with a protrusion and lipohemangioma from my MRI. The sharp pain runs from my buttock down to my thigh when I walk or stand, but no other symptoms for now. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm unsure should I get a second opinion from an ortho or neuro specialist?
Yes, getting a second opinion is a wise move when facing a surgery recommendation, especially with a complex diagnosis like yours. It's crucial to understand the potential benefits and risks of surgery compared to conservative treatments. A second opinion can provide valuable insights and help you make a well-informed decision.
