Dude, I am sure it is curable. I would start researching what has worked for people in the past. Check out medical journals (have you used "pubmed" before to search for articles?), and get informed. Your doc might not know about what all is out there.
 
Shit, that must cause a decent amount of pain and muscle tension.

yuca is right, though; Do your own research and present what you find to your doctor. Even though they are professionals, there is just so much development out there every day that they can't be expected to be able to keep up on everything for every condition.
 
Judging from that image there is no deterioration in the bone itself, it's just compressed. A good chiropractor could fix that. Definitely don't do surgery unless all else has failed and you are suffering terribly.
 
big thanks all :) thats good news bone is ok,just the disc is fucked... but isnt the disc curable and bone not? so its good??

anyway... I dont have any pain or muscle tension just fucking loud tinnitus for last half year
 
Depending on how fucked the disc is, surgery may be needed. If it's just misaligned, you could be okay; if it's torn or otherwise physically compromised, you'll need surgery. I agree with Foreigner, though: try as much in the way of non-surgical treatments as you can. Spinal surgery... /shudder
 
What PI said. I'm not an expert, and my spinal disorder is very different from yours....but I was under the impression that you'd need MRIs to show damage to non-bone tissue. What's your dr's reasoning for diagnosing you with disc damage?

Spinal disorders/issues are serious. They need proper medical attention.

this is great advice right here,considering I am 21 and have it from sitting,I see realistic chance of it being just misaligned,wish me luck
 
omg I am so stressed and hopeless,my current neurolog is old psychopath mentaly ill arrogant idiot murder,basicly said that the tinnitus is born issue and didnt send me to CT or MR or anywhere... that is indirect murder basicly

my symptoms get worse really fast,the tinnitus is now constant and I have stronger and stronger muscle spasms due to compression of spine

I need CTi and MRi ASAP! the line between chiropracticly curable or surgery state of my severly fucked disc is now matter of hours,the health system in my country is ruined trough massive stealing done by financial groups and corrupted politics

I know I am douchebag asshole but for once wish me luck becose this is deciding moment of my life,I hope I get what I need fast but my experience so far is that I wait forever and get far less than best possible cure.....
