Jess,
My husband had no history of any back problems at all nor was there any family history (except me). Out of nowhere, his fingers started tingling. Sure enough, the MRI showed 3 herniated discs.
I've often sang the praises of something called flexion/distraction therapy. When performed by the right chiropractor, this can be healing. In his case, it was and he's been 100% pain free for several years. Then his lumbar spine also went south and again, I send him to the same practitioner.
I do not advocate chiropractic care that involves 'adjustments'. I believe that is the reason my disc ruptured in the first place. He should have known better.
You need an MRI before proceeding with anything. If your discs aren't too far gone and your interested in learning more, I'll be happy to explain further.
One more thing, since my surgery, I carry myself very stiffly with a great deal of tension in my neck and shoulders. Meditating helps but I just started Pilates classes which I'm hoping will 'cure' me of this subconscious habit. Only an MRI will tell you the story.
I'm so sorry you find yourself dealing with additional problems. You'd think nature would have improved upon spines by now
Good luck Jess, Dale
