Hi Doc,

So sorry not replied until now, have problem with memory...

Well, the physiatrist was baffled as to why a massage would set my right leg off in pain, but since then the pain there has gone except for my big toe.

He wanted me to go back to try more massage but more gently and have to say I did feel better, more relaxed I suppose the next day, but after that the pain would always come back, have had 12 sessions and not going right now.

No one is sure where this pain is coming from, it is either nerves or muscular, am going for an EMG very soon.

I just wish some test would show what this is.

Do you know if after 16-17 months this could still be muscular??

Neurosurgeon said a disc is SO close to a nerve in my lower back but the herniated disc in my neck is not close enough to cause all this pain, but....the symptoms I'm having are classic for the C7 nerve damage so it's all so confusing.

do you know how muscular damage is treated?

My left shoulder slopes much lower than the left one too.

Thank you
