(77,277 posts)My wife has that. Causes stenosis & sciatica. She some good days, but some rough ones.
Right now, on a low dose combination of tramadol & meloxicam she's been doing pretty good.
She also has some age-related fatty deposits in the spinal canal. That's not terribly uncommon, but in combination with the bulging disks, it makes a bad pairing.
Good luck to you.

(77,277 posts)But, they did offer it at the clinic. She told them she already took her prescription.
I've had a few MRIs done because of the MS. Plus, one for a chronic pinched nerve in my neck.
I don't have anxiety issues though, so wasn't necessary. The only thing that bugged me was how loud & annoying it was in that tube.
