Misdiagnosed with Herniated DiskI was involved in an accident 1/23/08. Afterwards, I went to a chiropractor. I was referred for a MRI of the cervical and Lumbar. The radiologist diagnosed impression was bulging and herniated disks C6-C7 & C7-T1. The lumbar was diagnosed herniated L4-L5. I was then referred to an orthopedic surgeon that informed me the only alternative I had were Epidural Steroid Injections. I have endured two cervically.After my pain did not resolve, but got worse and also I developed terrible headaches. I consulted with my Primary Care Physician. She referred me to a neurologist for a 2nd opinion. Two new MRI's were performed of the brain and cervical with and with out contrast. The were results from both were unremarkable for any herniated discs and I was told the injections were not necessary and physical therapy would have been better. - Radley 1/15/09
