I've been going therough the same thing for years.  To try and make a long story short, I started developing disk problems in the late 90's, and waited until 2004 to have surgery.  Surgery worked for a few years and then slowly the problem with the left knee giving out started again and has gotten worse.  To make matterss worse, Went to MS clinic last week for a nerve conduction study.  The problem with my leg and back pain is not MS related.  The determined that there is compression of the L3 and S1 nerve.  IBesides MS I have neurofibromatosis and degenerative disk disease.  Neuros suspect that a neurofibroma is growing between the disk and nerve.  A disk problem alone would be sufficient to cause the problem you describe; but as with any medical condition - consult with MD>

Hi, Thank you for your question. It appears that it could be a slipped disc condition. In slipped disc or disc prolapse conditions symptoms may originate due to nerve root pressure, pressure on the spinal cord and pressure on the tail bone. Common symptoms could be paralysis of muscles, pain radiating to the arms or legs, leg pain and numbness, tingling, or weakness. Warning symptoms can include loss of control of the bladder function, numbness/pain at genital areas, paralysis & spasticity of both the legs. In addition, if you are suffering continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk in leg, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away. Further referral to a physiotherapist for spinal exercises could be beneficial and may produce relief of symptoms. Hope this helps. Take Care & Stay Healthy!!!
