I recently received results from an MRI taken of my cervical spine. It indicated that i have bulging at the c4-c5 and c6-c7 disc. I have been resting and taking meds as ordered by my doctor while waiting for the results.(about 2 weeks) My pain was pretty severe at first but with the rest and meds it has subsided to tolerable. I now have 2 options, either to have surgery to replace the discs with artificial ones or to try and do meds and physical therapy to see if it will go away naturally. I am unsure what to do but i am leaning on trying to let it heal with therapy and meds. Has anyone tried this for this reason?? If so im anxious to know how this worked for you?? I know everyone is different and every case is different. I am just looking for a little insight to help with my decision. I am a female 39 yrs old 130 lbs. I am in otherwise good heath. Thanks so much!!
