Hello. I have just been diagnosed with 2 severe herniated disc. I have the pain that you have and it is going down my leg and my foot is numb. They said that my disc is pressing against my siatic nerve and that 's what is causing my pain. I have been living with this only for a short period of time but I know what you are going through. I have been to the doc, to the chiropractor, which I would n't recommend, and now the nero surgeon. I am going to the pain clinic for epiderals and pain shots because the meds they are giving aren't doing any good. They said that eventually I will have to go get surgery and they will go in and shave the disc so it won't be pressing against the nerve. I feel your pain. Go to a specialist and have them check it out. I had a MRI done and they now know what to do.
