Tyler Dixon, PA-C's Expert Contributions
  • What can be done for spine hernia?

    You can try physical therapy, accupuncture, over the counter pain medications, muscle relaxers, and even epidural steroid injections. If all of these fail then surgery would be a possibility. I would also reccommend avoiding such activities as heavy weigthlifting such as squats and dead lifts or bending. READ MORE

  • How long should I have to wait for epidural with excruciating sciatica?

    This sounds very difficult for you. I have many patients with the same complaint. I am unsure why it is taking you so long to receive the injection. However, once you receive the injection you should journal how long the injection works for you. This is diagnostic for providers, meaning that is helps pinpoint the source of your pain. It would also be worthwhile to obtain lumbar (low back) x-rays as your MRI report reveals listhesis or slipppage of one vertebra on another and could be indicative of spondylolysis or a break in the bone.
