Questions about spine assessment in Damansara and Petaling Jaya
My MRI shows several disc bulges. Which one is causing my pain?
Often only one level, or none, explains the symptoms. The pattern of pain, numbness and weakness on examination is matched with the MRI to find the level that matters.
Will I need several visits?
Possibly. A first visit is usually for diagnosis and a plan. Reviews may follow after physiotherapy, an injection or surgery, depending on the treatment chosen.
Do I need to stop my blood thinners before the visit?
No. Keep taking your medicines as prescribed unless your own doctor tells you otherwise. Bring a list of them, because blood thinners matter if an injection or surgery is discussed later.
What if my symptoms get worse before the appointment?
New or worsening leg weakness, numbness in the groin or saddle area, or bladder or bowel changes need the nearest Emergency Department, not a clinic appointment.
Will I get advice on physiotherapy at the visit?
General advice on activity is part of the consultation. If physiotherapy is recommended, you can continue with your own physiotherapist or ask for a referral.
