I had posted a question back on 5/20 asking if anyone had heard of the symptoms I was having with lower back and buttox pain, and pains that radiate in my legs. I was told I has sciatica as one point. Well I have new info now. I had an MRI done this week and now am being referred to a Neuro Surgeon. I was told that I have a lession in my spine by my L2. From what research I have done this is the Femoral Nerve. The Doc says that the lesion is compressing the nerve and causing the pain that I am feeling. Sounds legit to me based on info avail, that this nerve goes into the legs and if injured or compressed will cause numbness, tingling or pain. My question is, is there anyone out there that has had this problem and what ended up being the resolution to correct it. Is surgery going to be indefinite to remove the lesion? I am terrified, I have a new baby that I nurse and do not want to loose this enjoyment. Is there anything that I can do on my own to help relieve the pain from the lsion?
