I think I have a problem with buldging disc (I am experiencing numb lower back pain for some time) though I am not sure because I haven’t x rayed this yet. What is the treatment?

Hello,
To start with … x ray can indicate disc degeneration but cannot actually image the disc itself. If you want to be sure what is going on with your disc, you need to refer to radiographic findings seen on a CT scan or MRI scan. Those scans are meaningful, but cannot actually determine the source of pain nor patients symptoms.
You need to visit spine specialist!

Yeah mri does show some of the problem areas but not much though cause i had 3 mri's done on my spine, 1 on my neck and2 of my head to see if i had any screws loose upstairs lol. But when they did the mri's on my back and neck it showed 3 bulging dics in my neck and some what of the disamated disc in the lumbar area and 3 bones out of place as well in that area. The very first bulging disc in my neck is far apart than the others and pushing an piece of fagament barely touching the cord but now i can't hardly walk need to hold onto walls and when i walk i couldnt bend my left leg cause if i do the pain will get alot worse and need my wife to help me to walk 15 feet to the couch from the kitchen sometimes she has to move my legs for me cause i couldn't move. Well my situation hasn't gotten any better cause now i become paralyied in my legs for about 10 to 20 minutes or sometimes my whole body does and cant move from the neck down for about 30 minutes. I already had the shots in my spine but after the second time of the injected i started having tremors daily but now only have them 1 or 2 times an week. I went to the nuerogist and he is the one made the appt for the shots. But both of my doctors my family one and him says that there is nothing they can do to help me to walk normal again and do stuff like i use to do. Oh yeah my family doctor told me he has an bugling disc and a disamated disc and said don't worry about it. Well both doctors says that its all in my head that i cant move and everything else.
I know that im stuck in a rock and a hard place but what should i do to get the problem solve because i want to walk normal again instead of holding onto the walls or have someone to move my legs for me so i can walk and have her to help me to sit down cause i couldnt move my arms or legs even she has to help me sit up as well.
Oh yeah i think the other other doctors might say that its all in my head.
What should I do wait til become paralized then the doctors won't say its all in my head again.
