Does anyone know anything about a bulging disk hitting a nerve?
First you do not state what disc? Likewise if the bulge hit the nerve, boy you will feel it. I say it is like exposing the nerve of a tooth and crunching ice cubes. The treatment depends on which disc, what nerve root, your age, and any underlying health conditions. I was sent for a Nerve Conduct Test which revealed sensory loss in my right leg and part of my foot. That means I can stick needles in, draw blood and feel zero! Good party trick! They have me on Fentanyl Patch as the disc will eventually dehydrate and shrink back off the nerve roots. When who knows, so they are aiming for another 10-15 years.
