A member asked:
Is it rare for a cervical disc bulge/herniation to press on the spinal cord in a 21 year old without stenosis? had mri 2 years ago that only showed mild bulges. how likely is it to progress to spinal cord damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Orthopedic...: First question is Did one have a history of injury in sports or accident. Next did one have Physical Therapy/ Braces/ Exercise to manage the bulge/ herniation after the MRI. Lastly one should go back to the physician/ care Giver who did the MRI for Clinical Followup. Age 21 years is rather too young to settle for chronic skeletal dysfunction that is fairly easy to manage. See Orthopedic Consult
