Default Newly diagnosed

Hi - I have been suffering from pain, tingling, numbness in my
left leg for almost two years. My physician diagnosed sciatica.
I have been to doctors, physical therapists, and an acupuncturist.
Have tried several drugs from Naproxen to Oxycodone. The latter is the
only one that helps at all. Was very depressed about the continuing
pain and am taking an antidepressant. Today I saw a doctor
at the New England Spine Institute who thinks I have meralgia
paresthetica. Am going to try a TENS unit and go for an EMG.
I hope to get some help as my big loves, gardening and hiking,
are very difficult now.

Default Hello Evelyn...

It's very good to meet you, even though I wish it were under better circumstances for us both! I experience a lot of pain and numbness in my left leg, too, as part of a larger condition. It's a bummer, huh? I hope this new doctor of yours gets some good results! In the meantime, please hang around and get to know some people. There are a lot of very nice members here who are always glad to help or just to talk. Good luck, Evelyn!
