Spinal cord throbbing
by: Susan M on Tue, Apr 21 2009

Two years ago I noticed when I sat down my spinal cord would throb all the way up and down, sometimes just the bottom (under bra area) would throb. I have a disc that is bulged in between thoracic 6 and 7. I do the epidural shots every 3 months. But any other doctor says that the disc is not close enough to make the spinal cord throb. I ask what would it be? He (Orthopedic) just said it could be a number of things and that was all. Doctors do not take the time to listen or give explanations as they should. I don’t know if it will cause spinal cord damage or not. Because for 1 year I thought is was the bulged disc. I don’t know what to think. It started 2.5 years ago.
Thanks for listening
