I am feeling a lot of in pain from my waist to right leg. I am unable to hold heavy things and I am always feeling that a burning stream is going through my waist to my leg. So I do MRI of cervical spine with screening of whole spine. The impression about the MRI report is - 1. Degenerative changes in all cervical intervertebral discs. 2. Diffuse posterior disc bulge causing thecal sac compression, mild cord indentation with E/O cord edema, bilateral neural foramina stenosis with possible exiting nerve root entrapment & spinal canal stenosis at C5-6 intervertebral disc level. 3. Mild diffuse posterior disc bulge causing mild bilateral neural foramina stenosis & mild spinal canal stenosis at C6-7 intervertebral disc level. 4. Mild right posterolateral disc protrusion causing minimal thecal SAC compression at C3-4 & C4-5 disc levels. I consulted a neurologist but he suggested me to do surgery immediately otherwise it may cause paralysis. Is it necessary to do surgery? So please your kindly precious suggestions are required. What should I do?
