I have always had scoliosis, but later in life I was told the pain that I was having was a ruptured disc in my L5. Had screws put in about 15 years ago. About 1 1/2 years ago that's when I had the neuropathy starting. Went to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Az. Had an Eng, xrays, ct, mri. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I recently went to another neurologist having more xrays a s MRI's. They found I have arthritis forming in that area. And told me they could take the screws out of my spine which is not going to happen. Recently when I'm on my feet for a long period of time I get a burning sensation on the upper front leg. Once I sit a s stretch it goes away. Oh, also has physical therapy they made it worse. Thank you for letting me join.
