It is not sciatica. I do not have pain. I have mostly tightness & numbness. Have had the EMG test but there’s no nerve involvement. Only d/x I have is that numbness may emanate from my back since I’ve been d/x with spinal stenosis, scoliosis & spondelothesis (sp?) but I don’t have back pain. Back surgery was suggested, if you can believe that, but was told my leg numbness would not be reversed.
I will look into treatment you mentioned. MUSC is a teaching hospital but they’re not accepting patients. I am now looking into a neurologist affiliated with Hilton head hospital. I believe this is a side effect from chemo for breast cancer. My fear is that I’m starting to feel numbness on my right side. I use a cane now.
