Well yea i was at one. Im clueless to what it was but i had scans done it looks like x rays. Problem being im in Germany and I don't speak german all it said was Rotgen on the door to the room. He said he found nothing so im assuming its a pinched nerve but not from a herniated disc im seeing the Neurologist on Monday.

If they had an MRI done, then yes, they can. Youre probly fine, but youll probly experience some pain, back, legs, I hope you heal up, from whatever you did.
I live with chronic pain and have herniated discs and have had back surgery.
Get well.

Yes--but only after doing a MRI or a mylogram. These two tests help to diagnois the problem. Then the only option is surgery. I have had it done and it was no big deal. It is out patient too. Good Luck.

yes-usually an orthopod or a neurosurgeon can diagnose and treat your disc disease.
