I hope you find some relief. It's so hard for so many of us with these spine issues. we pay so much money in hopes of getting some relief somewhere. Please do let me know how you are going and I will keep you posted on any progress I have. I saw my ortho yesterday and he said that he did not see scar tissue that would cause numbness on both sides. But....I had sciatica on both sides so why not numbness on both sides? It doesn't seem to be so far fetched to me. I have a posterior disc bulge and the new MRI states superimposed on that is scar tissue.
