I don’t know how long it’s been bulging. It was diagnosed in September when I fell down and couldn’t get back up. They did a CT scan on the entire length of my back and told me about the bulging disc at C6. Told me to watch for issues with my arms and hands.
I have permanent nerve damage from the sciatica and other spinal issues. I’m not sure if that means the ones in my neck are messed up too or not.
Glad to read that your issues worked themselves out and you are doing good.
C6 is the same one I herniated. I also have degenerative disc disease with sciatica pinched. I know how bad it is when both ends of your spine hurt. Lol. Remember a surgeon is always ready to cut. Think about it. I have a cousin who still has pain because he had surgery on the same disc. I know that the pinch kills the nerve. That’s why I no longer have pain. Just think about it before you consent to surgery.
