Over the past three months something very different happened to my back.   I had severe backaches and the doctor directed me to Xrays, than an MRI.   The MRI showed degenerated disc and disc bulges.  I feel pain in my upper arms and the back of my neck.   I also feel pain in my knees and thighs.   One time, I felt it in one of my feet strongly, but it hasnt reoccurred there,  Is this worth persuing with a neurological surgeon?  Since I am epileptic, my neurologist indicated this is the recommended step next.  Please offer your opinion,  Thank you for your time.
I do not think that a neurosurgeon can help you a lot. Since you said that your pain is more on back and disc are degenerated, I would advise you to see an orthopedic surgeon instead. I think there are chances that you have weak bones and nerves. Due to antiepileptic Chat Doctor.  If none of these succeed than you may need surgery, but try all these measures first.
