I have a T6-T7 focal right disc extrusion which Indents the thecal sac, I also have a T7-T8 Superiorly direct disc extrusion 8mm along postinferior Margin of T-7 vertabrae indenting the thecal sac with mild effacement of ventral thecal sac present. I was in a horrible domestic violence and I have been in debilitating pain, since November and my family seems to think it is Mental or emotional. I have never been one to stay in Bed or let Chronic pain take over my Life. I feel like I am never going to be able to have a Normal productive life again and my Family Parents seem to this wouldn t or shouldn t cause pain this long. please help me I see a spine doctor 7/8/2014 if I need to see a therapist for the pain they seem to think is not real I will. I need an unbiased opinion. I cry all the time I stay sick at my stomach to the degree of vomiting in the night. I have been on all kinds of pain medications and I even take over the counter and I still can t get up. I have so much life to live I m 34 with a great career. I love and I love life. I just need a clearer understanding of what all this entails and why I can t tolerate this pain but I can tolerate the Cervical disc bulges and Dissections. I have been on so many strong pain meds, anti inflammatories, steroids, and I love the Lidocaine patch. I just need clarification as to how much a injury of this nature can affect your life. Thank you and bless you
disc protrusion is very easy to treat nowadays. Consult a spine surgeon who can do minimal invasive surgery to remove it and make you completely normal. Confide in him and take help of friends, family. There are no residual pain or deformities after successful surgery, rest assured.be calm and trust God best wishes you will be okay
