My symptoms started with a sometimes pain in my lumbar area and left leg. It progressively got worse and I underwent epidural shots three times a year. After receiving a shot the results were almost immediate but only lasted for about two weeks. I then underwent surgery to open an area in the spinal cannel that I was told was the problem. This procedure yielded NO results. Now, three years later, the pain has migrated into my right leg as well. I was told by a neurologist that I was old, could still get around and to live with it . Now it s to the point where I have difficulty in walking at all. Why can t trained professional people with assistance from Xrays and MRIs pinpoint the problem? At this writing I m just barely able (with pain) to walk after stretching etc. No pain when sitting, bending forward, arching my back or laying.
