Suggest treatment for headache and degenerative disc disease
Patient: I have severe headaches but I only get the in 1 spot or a another at one time, like in the top right of my forhead piercing pain, then I will get them on the left back side of my head, my doctor says its due to the degenerate disc disease in my lower spine, but I don t feel like that is it, my legs and hips hurt alot most of the time,wrists and fingers, I have dry cracked feet like a diabetic only i m not diabetic or even pre diabetic, can all of this be related? short term memory loss like forgetting what I was doing while I was in the middle of it like completely forgot Doctor: Hello!I read your question and understand your concern.In my opinion the way pain on your back, problems with feet and headache may be related to a cervical disc problem. But trouble with memory is not caused by cervical disc. I would recommend a cervical spine CT scan and a head CT scan for the memory problems.A full blood work for inflammation would be helpful in rheumatic pain.Hope to have been helpful!Thank you for using HCM!Best wishes Dr. Abaz Quka
