    Returning to the leaky tube of toothpaste, the disc’s gel-like nucleus contains a chemical that irritates the nerves causing them to swell. After the chemical agent has done its job, the remnants of the chemical remain and continue to press on the irritated and swollen nerves. To complicate matters, sometimes fragments from the anulus (tire-like outer disc wall) break away from the parent disc and drift into the spinal canal. These free fragments may travel in the spinal canal. Depending on the type of injury and the condition of the discs, more than one disc may herniate, rupture, or bulge. Sometimes injury causes a combination of disc disorders.

    Before getting this surgery, get a second opinion. And, take your x-rays with you. Also go to drdillin.com: spine conditions; check out http://www.chirogeek.com...
