Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have muscle spasms and the doctor diagnosed me with sciatica. I have been through chiropractic therapy and had one round of neck injections last year which did not help much. No doctor has ever explained to me what this all means and who to seek further treatment from.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. I studied your MRI reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) and found there is a disc prolapse at multiple regions in your spine. When pain lasts longer and irritates the patient, then the psychological component also comes in and pain tolerance decreases. Now I can assure you that we can treat this conservatively with medications and exercises. We can start with treatment but before you need to answer a few questions.
I hope this helps you. Thank you.
