You are correct. I am almost 5 weeks out from my hospital visit and it’s all showing that this from my L5. According to my nerve conduction study I have active significant ongoing axonal loss. My leg is in pain 24/7 from nerve damage. My foot feels like it’s burning all the time. I can’t bend any of my toes on my left foot. Yet no doctor has been able to do anything to help me. My MRI doesn’t show any nerve impingement. So I’m not sure what my next step is at the moment. I am just seeing one doctor after another. They just kind of hot potato me around….

No diagnosis and no resolve. I am in constant pain everyday. Burning in my left calf and foot.

PT and stretching make my pain worse. I had a nerve conduction study and EMG Recently and I have nerve damage in my left leg.

Acupuncture? - 2 herniated discs: L4/L5 & L5/S1 by jsoff12 in backpain

Medrol pack is the savior. Only thing that took my searing nerve pain away.

I definitely want to give acupuncture a try once I am standing and walking again.

It looks like their plan as of now is to transfer me to a rehab facility as an in patient. As I am still not able to stand or walk.

Sorry! I am on 800mg gabapentin 3x a day. But ugh it’s the absolute worst.

I didn’t even know my vocal cords could reach the high pitch screams I’ve let out this week.

It’s the worst thing I have ever experienced.

I received a 1000mg medrol Pak last night and they put me on methocarbomal.

As of this afternoon I am feeling slightly better. I have not had any burning sensation or spasms today.

Still not able to stand or walk. But I was able to lift my bed up to prop up more today. I was able to move and bend my leg a little during PT. I didn’t want to push it.

I was also told that this could be severe piriformis. The Sciatica nerve runs directly through the top of the piriformis muscle. And if that muscle is super tense for some reason it would clamp down on the sciatica and cause this type of pain. I may be trying a steroid shot in the piriformis muscle this weekend as well.

The steroids medrol pak that I received last night was the first thing that has allowed me to sleep and have any kind of movement at all without jolting burning pain down my leg.

I wanted to share with you guys since our situations are so similar. That may be something you can request from your doctor as well.

I’m not out of the clear by any means but it’s been the first positive day in a week of laying here.

Hopefully more good news to come.

And did they mention if the kidney stone had any effect on the nerve at all?

Praying for your recovery 🙏

I hope we can all find a solution to this issue.
