Glad you have gotten at least some temporary relief and i hope your neuro can help you!

A few times i have had an awful pain that sort of starts in my lower back but feels like it cuts right through me at waist level then goes down across the front of my legs- kind of like where a very long apron when go if you were sitting down ( if that makes sense)- it is really nasty pain and i believe it is more like a nerve pain and i do not usually have lower back problems- is this possibly the hug??
