i hope you can get help with it. i've had leg pain for over 10 years due to my back. neck too. funny, no one wants to do surgery on me. i always thought surgeons jumped on the chance to make money. and this was before i went on MEdicare. now they just back away as if i had the plague. good luck.

Sometimes it takes a while and sometimes it is fixable and sometimes it's not. But always a relief to find out what it is!

Hope your back is better soon. Been there, done that. I never had surgery, but it has gotten a little better over 13 years.

Bless your heart, (and your back) . I can relate to back pain, and it is really not nice! Especially when you are told it is age related and nothing can be done about it. I pray yours is 'fixable' and can be healed quickly and painlessly.

don't wait to get it fix they don't get better without help

My husband has the same thing and the decompression table at our chiropractor's office does work.

Had a discectomy on L5 so I know the pain you mention. Mine got so bad in the end, I was a basket case. Now I'm all better.

Sorry to hear you have been in pain, but it's nice to know the problem. Now you can get it fixed .

Glad to hear that they found the problem and hope the cure is an easy one. Prayers.

Glad to hear that they found the problem. Finding the reason that you hurt, seems to be the hardest things for the docs to do anymore. Now, I hope that you get the right cure the first time.
