(not pregnant had a hysterectomy) i also have been experiencing some tingling on theright side of lumbar disc bulge. which is predominately where most of my problems occur, i was saved money for mri and now finding out i need lumbar and thoracic mri. cant afford both which one should i get first?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. You should get the lumbar MRI first, as constipation and bladder symptoms may occur witChatDoctorpression of sacral nerves due to bulging of lumbar/sacral discs. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
