EDISCSCULPTA cervical disc bulge occurs when one of the discs in the neck becomes misshapen. This can cause the disc to press up against the spinal cord or the nerve roots, causing symptoms that range from mild pain to severe issues with muscle weakness or numbness in the limbs. The symptoms of a cervical disc bulge can manifest almost anywhere in the body, and a disc bulge in this area can be relatively more serious than disc bulges in other parts of the back. However, this condition is still highly treatable.
Living with any chronic medical condition can cause you to miss work until you get treatment. Pain can interfere with your work productivity and even make it impossible for you to go to work some days. What's more, you could develop issues like insomnia and depression, which will further interfere with your ability to perform normal work duties. For those reasons, getting treatment for your cervical disc bulge can increase your work productivity in the long run, even if it means you have to miss work in the short run.
How much work you miss for treatment depends entirely on the type of treatment you get. Most cases can be treated non-surgically using methods like physical therapy and medication. Unless you end up needing to take time off to get to your appointments, you shouldn't miss any work for non-surgical treatments.
In some cases, surgery is needed to treat the condition. Downtime can be reduced by choosing a minimally invasive surgery such as laser spine surgery, which allows patients to return to work in as little as a week.
