I've had pain in my back and some weakness in one leg for some time now. It started one weekend about 7 weeks ago. The worst pain I've ever was running down my leg.
The pain improved within hours but I was left with a limp due to weakness. This has improved with time, but I still have a weak foot and toes. The pain in my back comes and goes, but might be becoming more frequent with time.
Recently I had a bone scan and an MRI of my lower spine. I've not yet had the results of the bone scan or the official radiologist report of my MRI, but when I saw the oncologist on Friday he had a look at the MRI.
He couldn't see anything that looked like cancer. Phew! Such a relief.
It always looked like sciatica, but this nasty little thought kept whispering: What if it isn't sciatica? What if...?
The doctor thought one of my discs was pressing on a nerve, so it sounds like a herniated disc. I will make an appointment with my GP to see if physio will help.
