dogdoc Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have been suffering from some minor back pain for the last couple months but starting yesterday the minor pain moved to major pain. Sharp burning pain in my lower back radiating down right leg--YUK! Went to the orthopod today. Radiographs were negative and he has me scheduled for a MRI on thursday. I did get a lumbar steroid epidural this afternoon--that wasn't much fun. Right now I'm walking like a drunk and my bootie cheeks are numb. My feet feel like they are asleep and my kids are laughing at the way I'm walking Keep me in your prayers--I don't think it is going to be anything serious--the physician just thinks it's a pinched nerve right now so hopefully the steroid will work and have me good to go October 1 todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... I hope your back pain goes away fast. Probably your sciatic nerve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... All the best Todd. I suffer from the same thing all the time. My problem is a bulging disk and it pinches or puts pressure on my sciatic nerve sometimes, thus the pains down the legs or legs. I hope you can get er fixed up my friend.

longislandhunter Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... I also wish you all the best. I've been dealing with 3 herniated spinal discs for the past 16 years so I can relate to how it feels. Good luck and hopefully it will be nothing serious.

Rhino Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... Sure thing todd. Been there before too but 2 months of physical therapy fixed me up fine. Hope your past this in no time at all. Let me know if you need somebody to stand at the gate with a baseball bat to keep the gators out of the 80.

MCH Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... Hopefully they'll get ya fixed Todd. I think the back problems I'm having are similar to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I can shoot a bow all day without pain, but the next day, back pain, numb hands and feet. Good luck bud.

SaskMan Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... I feel your pain..........sometimes. I broke a vertebrae in my lower back about 7 yrs ago and my back bothers me from time to time. I don't look forward to being a grandpa at this rate. I hope they can take care of you and you get the feeling back in your booty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Back pain=No Fun... Todd, I hope it all gets better for you. I know its no fun. I had problems with my back on a couple occasions and had to undergo some intense phyical therapy. The important thing is to do what they tell you to do. Don't jeopardize your recovery by thinking its OK. Make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
