I have been having chonic pain down my left leg for 4 years now. I have been through a MRI, Myogram(?), and Spinal Tap.. The only thing which showed up was a degeneration in the C-5-6 cervical disks in my spine. Here latelly, I have been having the pain down my left leg which brings tears to your eyes. About 2-3 times after sitting, I have got up to move and my foot on my left leg won't hold me up. It seems to be asleep or weak like it won't hold me up. My tests were done 2 years ago. The pain goes down my left buttock and down the left leg. Thank you in advance for any information or suggestions.
