Hi
Im new to this site..and could do with advice. Last summer ,after lifting too much,I suffered thoracic pain and a right weak leg.MRI scan show T11-T12 prolapse. I have tried everything from aids to alternative treatments,physio,chyropractice and traditional pain killers. One year on and I am now struggling to walk as the right leg is very weak and jerky. I have perineal numbness and continual pins and needles and burning in the right leg and around the right rib cage. I have bladder control but constant sense of needing to go and my bowels are no longer functioning without continual medication.I have to use a wheel chair to get around as exercise now makes my leg more jerky and harder to control. A new MRI scan showed that the T12 prolapse has slipped slightlyand is calcified but the T11 is reduced. I have seen 2 neurosurgeons,one says there is no problem .Another wants to operate to relieve possible nerve pressure. Why are the opinions so different? Has anyone else suffered this? Can anyone advise me? |

Welcome to our Forum, I hope someone will come by soon with some answers for you. You may also try posting over on the Spiney Forum. many knowledgeable people there. I had some similar issues with my rt leg early this year - but it was not Thoracic related. I sneezed and threw my lower back out. It took about 2 months for my leg to stop flopping about when I walked. Good luck, I hope you get some answers and some relief soon! Anne

hi does not sound like tos which is generally a upper torso event, the thoracic outlet being in the shoulder area and a highway for the nerve and vascular bundles from the neck et al to the arms and on down,
