[quote NewtonMP2100]. . .again not a doctor. . .I would get a 2nd opinion. . .
I couldn't even bend down to tie my shoe lace. . .I did physical therapy which included massage, acupunture (with electricity), heat and doing the excercises that were given to me. . .and much better. . .for awhile there it was back to normal but I have skipped the exercises and rest above due to circumstances.
now I get some numbness. . .so will get back to the above. . .
just to clarify my main symptoms were pain radiating up the back of my left leg. . .especially bad when woke up in the morning. . .I was also told surgery is a last resort since success rate is not that high. . .
2nd opinion. . .
FYI never tell a doctor pain is radiating "up"-- you'll get labeled a head case pretty quickly.
