Hernaited T12/L1 disc
by Virginia2380, Jan 12, 2008 09:21PM
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here has similiar symptoms as I. I have been diagonised with a herniated T12/L1 disc. Three years now. I have severe pain in mid region of my back, muscle wastage on each side of the lower part of my bottom, left leg goes numb at times, pins and needles, I don't sleep at night as the pain in the midregion wakes me. I am on medication but the doctor wants me to go on stronger medication and I do not want to take pills all my life.
The point is I am sick of the pain, I am sick of not having a life and I wonder if anyone has had this area operated on.
I am seeing a neurologist on wed, the fifth specialist to see if he can help me. The others had varying opinions, put up with the pain until you can't stand it anymore, wear a brace, pain management, walk a lot.
Yes, I have been doing all this and now my situation has worsened. Before christmas my left leg went almsot completly numb and I hobbled around, my bowels ceased to work for three days suddenely.
I know this area is dangerous to operate on, but surely techniques in this modern day world can operate successfully.
Thank you, any advice, hints, information is very much appreciated.
