Hi there, Im new to this forum and wanted to ask a question.
I had an MRI in January which showed a 4mm disc protusion at L5/S1 with moderate disc degeneration, and mild impingement of the right nerve root. My symptoms were minor lower back pain with a pulling feeling like a piece of string was pulling through my back to my butt, but no real pain. Other than that I have had the odd pins and needles and funny skin sensation on my calf At the moment I have no real symptoms at all. I am just curious , as from what I have read everyone else with similar disc issues with nerve compression seem to be in extreme pain ! I am just wondering as to why my nerve pain has never been painful ! Do people feel nerve pain in different ways? I have seen a neurosurgeon and physios who have both said its something I have to live with and manage, which I am doing well with. Is there anyone else that mainly felt their pinched nerve issue as a nuisance rather than pain? |
