Hi all! I'm new to the forum and desperately am looking for someone...anyone with the same issue I am having.

In 2009 I had 4 herniations (size of quarters?? ) on my L5/S1 disc. I hadn't been able to sit/stand or walk for 9 weeks before my surgery due to the sciatica being so intense. I then had a microdiscectomy in Jan 2010 and had to work myself until the limp in my right leg finally went away in July that year. I've had issues since...mostly weird pains, etc..never really quite felt 'strong' again.

Fast Forward to October 2013. My knees started just buckling from out of nowhere but I could catch myself. By Spring 2014, after Decadron then spinal injections...this 'issue' ramped up to being a SHARP shooting pain in the lumbar which comes out of nowhere...then I fall to the floor because my spazzed out muscles just give way. After a minute, I'm okay to stand again.

Additional info: I have DDD, Osteoarthritis in Lumbar and cervical. C-6 currently has both herniations as well as osteophytes impinging the nerves. Seeing my Neuro next week to see the MRI and find out next steps.

Has anyone experienced this or seen this documented anywhere? They are pushing me to have a L5/S1 fusion...but I won't agree until I can be sure that would fix the issue.

Anyone?? Bueller....Bueller.....
