In response to your question I have had Back Surgery (L-5-S1), 2005, as well as cervical fusion at level (C-3-C4). 2007. I was told that I had DDD years ago, I recently got a MRI of the fused L-5-S-1 because my doctor thought it may be causing my leg pain but my back doctor said he didn’t see anything from the MRI I had to cause this. I am going to try and get a second opinion and more images because, there are some things they saw on the images like a disc bulge I was told by MD, this is above my fusion, and even years ago my Back doctor told me that I may someday need to get the hardware out, but he didn’t say anything about that when I saw him, that’s why I am going to get second opinion, I already got another appointment to see my Podiatrist, he said he thought it was from my back when I saw him last year so now IDK what he is going to say. I have been noticing that if I lay on my right side it causes a cramp in the arch of my foot and pain is excruciating 😣 for like 5 minutes

I too feel like I’m sitting on a rock on the left ischium and it’s my 2 end toes on the left, then just a couple days ago when we left to go to store my upper thigh was on fire. , I could not make it had to return home immediately, IDK if it’s all caused by this diagnosis I just got Nutcrackers Syndrome. I have a appointment with a Vascular surgeon so I hope he knows, he is a Professor and has been knowledgeable about this disease but I can’t see him till March 6, feels like I’m stuck but I’m trying my best to figure this out because I use to be very active and now I’m atrophied and weaker, now my weight has dropped down again to 98 after working hard to get to 109 last year, before I became sicker, very depressed about my health problems
