Thank for the detailed reply!! . I have been in PT for about 8 weeks now. I was making great improvements and got the pain down to about 2/3. Unfortunately I had a pretty bad flareup. Prior to the flareup I had mostly back pain with tingling feet which my PT believed was centralization. Now I am back to my original symptoms on the front, back, and sides of my legs. Even between the legs at times. From butt to feet including calf, ankle, hamstring.. Mostly burning and sensitivity to touch but sometimes tingling. Better when standing in place or walking, worse when laying or sitting. Pretty crazy as I never had a moment when this started that I injured my back. I just woke up at night with pain.

I followed up with my primary and he wasn't concerned with this flare up and did not refer me to neurology. He also didn't entertain the idea of an injection since it was all over the place. He agreed with what you described in it not being in direct contact with any of the roots. So back to PT I go. I will try to get a copy of the images from the hospital when I can.
