Thank you very much for your reply and recommendations. The main problem right now is that I had (2) MRI's done - Lumbar spine and (R) hip and the prescribing physician never bothered to review the results with me, and because their computer system was down he did not have an opportunity to view the discs. So, I have no idea what my problems may be, I only know my symptoms. I've been in pain since November. I have, what feels like Piriformis syndrome, and I have pain down my (R) thigh, extending down to my ankle which is constant. I don't know what's causing my pain, however it must be back related as my physician referred me to a Neurosurgeon. Now whether this Neurosurgeon will accept me as a patient after reading the reports and viewing the MRI's is up in the air.
