Alan, I'm doing PT which has made it worse and I'm getting an injection of steriods on Wednesday. I know the doctor thinks it will be just time before I'm in the OR for a laminectomy and fusion. There is not a lot to do for it and it causes severe leg pain and spasms in my legs so badly that my husb...

Hello all, Just found out that I have severe spinal stenosis of L5, S1. I need advise badly. I reseached pudendal neuralgia for a year and I don't have that long with this problem. Apparently, the nerve goes to the Vulva where most of my pain is and my obturator internus is almost none exsistant. An...

Hello All, Well, I'm nine months out from surgery on my left side and I went to a new PT because I've moved.

Torbjorn, I have restless leg syndrome, too. It slowly got worse over the years. After my surgery, when I had the pain pump in for three weeks, the RLS disappeared. When the pain from the surgery started after the pain pump was removed, the RLS came back. I take requip for it and my doctor lets me u...

Could in just indicate that there in entrapment in that area? That was my case that was confirmed by surgery. But that's interesting Violet, Helen about smaller nerves. Which would those be?
