I have pain that originates in the lower back and extends down the leg accompanied by numbness and tingling (common) and sometimes up the back to the shoulder. It is aggravated by running and leg movement. It can become severely debilitating. Two MRIs have shown no signs of a problem. Physical therapy has temporarily worked, but eventually pain returned. The same is true of anti-inflammatory drugs, lidocaine patches and chiropractor visits. Any ideas?
Hi, Since your MRI is normal, I don't expect any cord compression. That leaves mainly muscular and metabolic states. I suggest you start supplementation of Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 and Calcium. Take for about 3-4 weeks and then consult any orthopedic surgeon, if required. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
