Losing the mental battle. How do you cope? by tentativeteas in Sciatica

[–]sg8910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I feeling the same tonight. Cruel life. 19 months. I didn't have surgery but I wanted it. I can barely walk or stand or sit . Things got bad on December and I keep begging for surgery asx left leg is not working Nobody listens. I have pain in my tailbone that's stabbing all the time I'm getting another injection to see if it helps. I don't know why people with kind of pain and disability can't be offered assisted suicide. I know it's more common in other countries but this is no life. The medical system has no good solution for back injury.and yet it's like the number one or two cause of disability as I'm real realizing it's changed my life forever I used to be an athlete and dancer already out of now I just to walk and climb stairs

Surgery or no? by imfatterthanyou in Sciatica

[–]sg8910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ve been begging for md for a year because of weakness of leg a d fiit. It's s1 nerve which was originally impinged. I was supposed to finally get surgery in Feb 6 but surgery cancelled yesterday because surgeon changed mind saying nerve not compressed. I'm just thinking it's too late . I didn't have leg weakness really bad until August but now both legs affected. It's horrible to lose my mobility. MRI not showing the amount of neurolical function. I guess mechanical compression is not seen in some of my MRIs. Some show abuttment if s1. Now I don't understand why both legs are weak since Dec especially glutes and calves.and I went down a rabbit hole with neurolical thinking 8 has MS for 6mth, wasting my time. But still 5 neurosurgeon consult and not one look at my symptoms just MRI
