When you have numbness around the front of your legs, you might wanna try a radio frequency, ablation or injection called RFI/RFA that helped me immensely. The first time for 15 years and then when we did it again, it wasn’t as helpful. The Cortizone injections were helpful until they weren’t. Then it was time for surgery. Herniated discs, generally mean that your discs are falling out between your vertebrae‘s, and your vertebrae‘s are now compressing into the space where the discs were supposed to be. What this means are your nerves are getting crushed exiting your spine And so that is why you’re having numbness in your legs. You need to see an orthopedic surgeon to see how far along you are in this process. After suffering for 18 years, I finally got to a great orthopedic surgeon, but it was too late for my nerve endings which had been crushed for far too long. I did surgery immediately when I met my Prince charming surgeon, and I got my life back and no longer had lumbar pain, but the damage was done to my nerves. It’s been six or seven years, and I suffer with degenerative disc disease, which means my spine is constantly in a state of degeneration And disc herniation. I am probably close to another surgery. As long as you are with the finest orthopedic spine surgeon, giving you the best opinion and advice. I think you will have the best chance for the best outcome. We only did a small section of my lumbar spine in 2018 now it’s getting time to go back and do the exterior sides. I am not afraid because I know I will get my life back and I am literally in good hands!
