Low Back Pain Going into Hip and Leg

@harvey2007 You certainly present quite a dilemma. Do you mind telling more about the time frame in which you received these opinions, and if there were any differences in the information they had? Also, was there any agreement at all in their opinions? Nancy

Thanks Nancy.
All surgeon opinions within the same month- same info, same images.
They all differ in opinion - either about which nerves are causing the pain or about the best procedure. One said L3-L4, a couple said L4-L5 and L5-S1, one said just L5-S1. Procedures recommended go from double fusion to single minimally invasive discectomy. Absolutely no consistency. And when I tell the surgeons how they all disagree, they tell me “ 5 surgeons, 6 opinions” and laugh. I guess they think it’s funny.
