Your life is not over
Hi there,
Just a question, but how can a min. bulge at C2-3 be causing occipital nerve pain when it is not touching a nerve?
Also a minimal bulge at the lower level would cause numbness and not some of the symptoms that you describe.
No, your future is not over. Up to 75% of ALL people, regardless of age, have disc bulges and even herniations. Surgeons are quick to blame abnormalities and want to operate. I have 4 disc bulges/protrusion in my neck and have no symptoms. Anxiety can cause ALL the symptoms you have mentioned. Look down this route before looking at discs. It may be hard to do because you have a history of disc issues.
You are going to be ok.
Warm regards,
D
