Lower back pain / Right leg pain with numbness / burning / paralysis

I'm so sorry you've been through so much. I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as far as being in the dark about my condition. I have had lower back pain for 20 years. I had back surgery last year to clean up the mess that was causing the sciatic pain, numbness and atrophy in my left leg. I now have the same pain along with the same symptoms starting in my right leg. My feet are numb...it feels like I'm wearing tight socks. And (i know it makes no sense) I have the same numbness and pain in my hands and arms now. I have migranes often & headaches daily. My neck hurts a lot!! Taking 3000 mg of Gabapentin has lessened the pain...i refuse to take pain pills. (been there, done that). MRIs of my neck, back and brain talk about scar tissue, arthritis and disc buldges. But my brain is OK. The docs say they don't know why I'm in so much pain. I also have a lot of pain from sitting. The surgeon said it would go away. It hasn't. I hope you find an answer. I hope anyone in a similar situation does too.

Thanks so much for passing that on!! I will definitely give it a try.
I hope it works for us too!!!!
Has anyone ever mentioned RSD/CRPS to you? I'm not saying that's what you have but it's something to research.
No, but I have read about it and although some of my symptoms are described, there are also some that are absent. The swelling and the changes in skin are not symptoms I have ever had. Thank you very much for the suggestion!! That may very well be a possibility!!

Jenifwazie i am so sorry to hear about all that you have been going thru as well and i do appreciate that you took the time to email me and i wanted to pass along something someone told me about the other day and i am getting ready to try it,anyways there is a product called C-1000 that is available at any vita-mart store and usually they are located in a mall,anyways you take a teaspoon of this powder daily and as it cleans the colon it also helps to heal,it basically is vitamin c in its purest form,but i have talked to at least 7 different people from different walks of life and lifestyle that have had alot of pain and issues with the same thing that people like you and i go thru and these people are having amazing results and hey if it does not do us that good like the other folks it surely cant hurt because it is another vitamin that we get into us and the other good thing that it is really cheap,i will you keep posted and let you know if it helps me.
Thank you once again for responding
