Hi Needsomeluck!

I love your user-name! I don't really have any answers for you ~ but I wanted to Welcome you to Neurotalk!

The only thing I know about spinal issues is from my own experience. It does sound like you have some bulging (or herniated) discs from L-3 through L-5, S-1. The pain radiating down your leg and into your toes isn't good. Do you have any numbness?

I hope someone comes along who can give you more answers. In the meantime ~ I will be keeping you in my thoughts ~

I know how painful and confusing all this can be ~ (((hugs)))

Love,
Sue
