Hypermobility syndrome and bulged discs in cervical and lumbar areas
Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone in the group had any disectomy and fusion in their necks, and other discs at lumbar area are bulging and diagnosed with HEDS. My rheumatolgist thinks that because I had this hypermobility condition all my soft tissues, specially vertebral discs, are bulging out. I had two levels operated on my neck and recently, appeared that two other discs are bulging on top of the operated area in my neck and two discs at lumbar area. So the consultant put me under treatment with HULIO (adalimumab, a monoclonal antibody to treat rheumatoid arthritis) since december 2022. These are injections to suppress your inmune system as I started complaining with joint pains in feet, knees and now in hands, fingers and wrists. Started injecting every two weeks and since last week, 26 January, weekly, if those pains are going away. Is anyone in this group in the same situation as me? Regarding disectomy & fusion and/or HULIO treatment. Anyone there with similarities with my situation? Many thanks and cheers, Sonia.
