Yikes!!I'm missing the inside part of my right calf due to nerve damage from my exploded disk. My Dr said my spine was pink from irritation, it is supposed to be white. He never saw that before. He chose to not fuse it because he said it had already been riding bone to bone anyway. I spent 4 hours on the table. I guess they can put synthetic disks in now, would have been nice if they had that in 99. I'm hoping it will realign itself and get off the nerve it is on at the moment. Been a couple months now.
I have something going on with a nerve going down into my right foot too. That's what I had seen the podiatrist for, and she recommended a nerve test too.
They ordered 2 MRI's today...The lumbar, and the sacrum. I know every disc is blown out in my lumbar and has been for 10+ years, but apparently that's not that big a deal, until a nerve gets pinched. I had one spine doc tell me I was blessed with a large nerve canal in my spine.
They asked today if I had ever been to a rheumatologist, and I have not, so that might be forthcoming.
