I believe my last MRI was within the past year. I still have disc height, but now both are bulging as opposed to just one.

I have only progressed to worse! I don't have much of a life and am too young to be this way. The pain in my back is there constantly. I can get rid of my leg pain with epidurals. My MRI does not show any nerve impingement, and while I haven't had recent flexion/extension xrays I believe I still don't have any instability.

Recently I saw a doctor, just a family doctor, for some emergency pain meds, and he made a reasonable observation that I probably need to really think about having something done to preserve my disk height, and don't let them collapse. I hadn't thought of that since mine have held in there for a long time. But I suspect they are shrinking a bit, and I'm so glad I finally got authorization from work comp to see a surgeon. We'll see what she says. My preference would be to have Zeegers do my surgery.

Thanks for asking!
