How to treat numbness and pain in leg after i fall down from stairs?
Patient: Aloha, 50 year old female, 5ft 3inches tall, 140 lbs. I fell down the stairs in December 2010, couldn t walk - severe pain. I went to emergency and they did CAT Scan - Scan showed slight bulge in disc. Pain still persisted after 2 months - finally insurance approved MRI. MRI showed no bulge. Pain has gotten worse and my left leg is numb down to my toes. Should I go to a neurosurgeon? Not sure what to do? Doctor: Hello....you need to do repeat MRI scanning coz symptoms told by you are closely matching with disc prolapse....better if you could consult a ortho or a neurosurgeon
