I’ve had MRI a few weeks ago, after lower back/hip/back of legs pain started. Worst was over left hip at first so the NS’s NP ordered an SI joint injection. Before I even had the injection the worst of the pain moved! To the right hip, then ended up in lower center of my spine.
Pain will travel down back of my legs- severe pain. Actually goes down to my feet too, where it hurts to put weight on when walking. I’ve never had such a problem like this before and don’t know what the answer is.
After the Memorial Day holiday I will call my NS’s office and seek direction.
Since the SI injection was not helpful, an epidural injection was given last week, bilateral.
It helped me be able to pick up my feet when walking with my walker, then went back to same cycle of worsening pain then constantly changing.
I was able to get in the pool with my grandkids a few days ago and walk back and forth in the water, it helped a lot that one day.
Ive had two lumbar fusions, first one L4-5, in 2021; the last one was L5-S1 in 2023. That’s where the epidural was given this past week.

Where do I go, has anyone had similar experience that can shed their advice?
