I got my results of my MRIS and have no clue how bad is it. Of course I understand the obvious. Does anyone have some knowledge of the spine and bulging disks and herniated disks? I want to add, I did not fall. I am guessing this is from MS and the fact I can barely walk my knees are so bad.

Members rallied around a post asking about MRI results showing bulging and herniated discs, with many sharing that these conditions are often linked to aging, genetics, posture, or heavy lifting rather than MS directly. Several members described their own spinal diagnoses, including degeneration, stenosis, and bone spurs, and shared treatments that helped, such as pressure point injections and physical therapy. A recurring theme was the frustration of feeling dismissed by doctors, the emotional weight of managing multiple conditions, and encouragement to seek pain specialists and keep advocating for proper care.

Nope sorry thats from lifting way to much,, they can be fixed much better they did in 1990. Please check out your Doctors. Ask them if you may talk to some of the people he fixed, tell him to set out or his nurse to set out several folders so you may call anyone without him or her knowing who your going to pick. If they refuse your way of wanting to call someone,, i would say Thank you maybe i can fine some Doctor who doesnt mine that i want to know how well they are feeling now after the Doctor did Work close to there Spine. MS is when you have Leasions Right on Your Spinal Cord. It take off like the rubber you have on a light cord,, and you see the bear wires,, and if you should pull some of them apart your lamp will flicker. Or if it is MS and all them Copper Wires are going to Different places to make your arms move or fingers or make you grip or push away or pick your nose. But them thbings will grow any where on your spine to pull off like on my example of a light cord. And leaves it bear so your nerves will short themsleves out, that so many things will work a little or maybe not at all. I will say a Prayer for you my,

The MRI won't know the reason you have herniated discs but it shows that is seen on the image. Talk to your doctor about that. I do not think MS causes herniated discs but I am not sure Maybe it does! It is twisting my hamstrings and I have permanent contracture and paraplegia so maybe it can cause that?
But there are other possible causes to consider possibly.
