I've had back issues for many years. In the last six months I have noticed sciatic type pain on both sides and a moderate to severe, at times, nerve activity down the legs.
I also find if I am machining or standing in one spot for a while I have stiffening and quite a bit of pain.
I wasn't expecting this diagnosis. Several of my lumbar vertebrae are involved with severe central canal narrowing as well.
I am scheduled to see my primary doc today and she will send me off to a neurologist to see if there is any permanent nerve damage.
I know many of you suffer from back problems, I'm wondering if any of you have found relief from steroid injections/epidural?
Physical therapy?
I'm at the discovery stage of this new development.
I do not want surgery!
Thanks for your thoughts.
