I have read on mumsnet about people with bulging discs but the threads are old so i am starting a new one.
6 weeks ago i got pain in one of my legs and lower back. I saw a doctor at my local hospital and she diagnosed with mild sciatica. She felt my spine an said it was fine. My symptoms did not go away so I got an MRI scan an it concluded that I have three bulging discs.
Can I make a complaint against the doctor who said there was nothing wrong with my spine? Had I not insisted on getting a scan then I would have no idea I have bulging discs and would be thining I just have mild sciatica. I am not in that much pain which is good because reading the other thread on this and speaking to my osteopath clinic, some people can hardly walk or bend but I hae never been tht bad.
Apparently bulging discs are quite common for people over the age of 40. The worse thing about having bulging discs is I still have some pain down the right leg (which we first thought was sciatica) and today my GP told me that I cannot go back to my keep fit class because the exercises are too strenuous because they involve a lot of jumping an skipping. I really want to be able to get back to that keep fit
