Hi, I have the same symptoms, I was told after. Mri that I need a vertebrae replaced because of some trauma. They said that the pain will stop after surgery.

Hi Christine,

Was the recommendation to have a vertebra replaced, or to fuse two (or more) vertebra? I only ask because I'm not familiar with vertebra replacement. Arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis), pressuring the sciatic nerve with sharp pain in the buttocks, hamstrings, and calves - usually only on one side of the body. Other things can also put pressure on the sciatic nerve - scoliosis (curve in the spine), listhesis (one vertebra out of alignment with other vertebra), and degeneration of the discs between the vertebra.

Fusion can help solve this, but it should be a last resort. A good orhtopedic surgeon can explain your options.

All the best to you, and please let us know how you are doing.

Joe
