Chronic was the word used by the spinal doctor seen last week after a very long and very painful two year journey. Two steroid epidural injections at S1 site with little positive impact other than noted improvement in my ankle stability. Left leg pain sufferer daily sciatica and whereabouts pain is felt varies in a day, days, week. Desensitizing the nerve is what I was told to focus my attention. What has driven me to what some days has felt like despair , attempting to decipher all I have going on I n my hips, mainly the left. MRI over a year ago identified labral tear, bilateral severe gluteal tendinopathy,with partial thickness tearing, bilateral trochanteric bursitis, left iliopsoas bursitis, and left insertion hamstring tendinopathy. When getting out of bed in the mornings once bearing weight and the pins and needles in my foot is and has been the indication this caused my stenosis and nerve impingement . Multiple visits to my GP for at least five years complaining of the pain in my groin, hip was physiotherapy where my age, hyper mobility, natural childbirth labour and poor core has prevented MRI scans until 48 years of age, and turning fifty in 3 months has changed me. All I want to do is dance for a release and fun. I pay for kitchen disco dancing for at least two days afterwards. The future is a concern, but unknown. Any others diagnosed before fifty years old?
