Back Pain

Post a new topicby palb on Sat Apr 12, 2008 11:15 pm

Hi I am have back pain in my mid to lower back. The pain in radating down my left buttox and down to my calf. Also, I am getting sharp electric type pain radating across both my shoulders blades. Now, my legs are starting to tingle and go numb sometimes. I had a MRI of my neck mid back and low back and waiting on the results. Could someone tell me what they think is wrong?

Thanks

I'm just an injured roofer, but I don't think you are going to like your MRI results. I am recovering from a herniated L5-S1 disc, it was pinching the L5 nerve root causing excruciating pain in my right leg, all the way down to my foot. I am 8 days out of surgery and happy as hell I did it, I have no pain.

Although I am curious as to what exactly your MRI says.
