Hello all, and thanks for being here. I just found this board, and I hope just having an outlet maybe will help a bit.

I'm a 38 yo woman, injured at work, no specific diagnosis because of the work comp rigamarole, but have been told everything from 'slight disc bulge' or facet joint degeneration that would not cause my symptoms to severely 'bad disc' with a flat tire appearance at L5-S1; but the bottom line is moderate to excruciating pain in the lower back down my right leg every single day, and minimal sensation in my right foot. Occasionally, pain goes down the left leg as well, but it's not as intense or frequent. Before this injury, I worked as a custodian on my feet 9-12 hrs a day, lifting, bending, twisting, etc. with no problems at all- proud of my physical strength and endurance, and now I ache in pain and weep in frustration daily.
I'm not sure which specific condition forum to check out- spinal conditions, neuropathy, etc. Some friends have suggested that I may have fibromyalgia, but I'm wondering if fibro can be somehow triggered by an injury, as I said, before this, I never had these issues.
I'm here for emotional support, insight into the conditions, treatments, etc. so I welcome any info that can be given.
Thanks in advance!
