Hello @notgivingup17 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you've had this pain slowly traveling north since the onset in 2017 after your ankle sprain. I am wondering what correlation your doctor may have made between your ankle sprain, herniated disk and your overall pain you are experiencing?

When I told them how it started it’s like they aren’t listening. I’m so frustrated because the pain is spreading and they look confused. I only had the surgery because my husband and I saw the herniated disc on the MRI and my sister had back surgery and she said it sounds like it’s my back. EMG showed low back problems because when the doctor stuck the needle in my low back it caused spasms. I had a gut feeling the surgery wasn’t going to help and it didn’t. If I wasn’t taking LDN and Lyrica I wouldn’t be able to walk. I will have another biopsy for SFN in February. All my blood test from my neurologist are negative. It’s spreading and by the time they order another test or see another specialist several months will have gone by. Anyone have any advice?
