Slipped/Prolapsed Disc...

Donie75 · 2006-10-15 21:27:59

Hi, I think I have a slipped or prolapsed disc. I can't straighten me back and stand up straight and it is also causing severe sciatica down my right leg. Should I go to a spinologist or an Osteopath or should I just go to my GP and get him to recommend treatment? Any advice would be very welcome...

Go to your GP, you may need referral to an orthopaedic surgeon. He/she will be able to evaluate the need and if it is urgent.

Treatment with physio helps people too and this can also be arranged through your GP.
