3 Signs Back Pain/Sciatica Is VERY Serious- Must See A Dr. ASAP

[@johnj1602]

When I had spine problem it took 6 mths for doctors to take me seriously. They weren't happy that they have to sent me to do mri.. I cried for all that time. After 2 mths mri.. They said 'oh yeah, it looks bad.' same for my ankle torn ligament. That took a year! 'yeah, it looks bad.' doctors are unreliable.

At the age of 32 I had a ruptured disc resulting in Cauda Equina Syndrome in 2003. Spent several months in therapy learning to walk again and had to use a catheter for 9 months. I’ve been pain-free for 15 years following my emergency surgery. There’s residual weakness and numbness in my calves and feet but I considered myself fully cured when I was able to stop using the catheter.

Thoroughly amused at the “go to urgent care” comment. I have numbness in my groin, down my leg/shin. Went to the ER and was sent packing after a shot of muscle relaxer. It has been 3 weeks now and i’m still about 2 weeks out from getting my MR scans done. Add another few days to a week to get back into the doctor after that. You get the picture. Meanwhile, walking is becoming harder and harder. Sleep is near impossible, dorsiflexion is paralyzed and life sucks. Here’s hoping I don’t have permanent nerve damage by the time somebody actually helps me instead of peddling referrals and prescriptions.

Hi Bob and Brad I'm a 50 year old male who since 2014 has had a problem and lower back pain. I work Polishing marble floors that include a twisting motion since 2007 and for 5 year before this I worked in a factory lifting marble and granite 8 hours a day. 4 days ago I was in my kitchen on my knees sorting my tool box out for tools I needed to do a job and I simply bent forward and my left side of my lower back went into spasm and for a couple of days I was in extreme pain and now as I write this I am better but my back went out so easily. Should I see a back specialist to check me out? I did go to the ER room and the doctor said that I should give up my job. He prescribed pain and anti inflammation medication but this has happened a few times since 2014. I take extreme caution when I'm working Polishing floors but when I'm working I'm constantly twisting my back from left to right.. What should I do? I can't quit my job but I'm not getting any younger and when I'm in bed and if I move a certain way my back goes into spasm. Any advice would be most welcome and appreciated

Had Cauda Equina about a year ago. Had been in agonising pain for months got off sofa and my leg pain got a lot worse despite my leg feeling a little numb at the same point. Following morning went to the hospital as saddle region was also numb. Everthing was so numb I was no longer in pain so that was a bonus. I was using a zimmer frame to walk by end of the day. Three days later I was operated on (would have been that day but hospital looked at old mri). Luckily for me and the hospital given the mistake over 6 months I regained full usage of everthing but took lots of physio. Only slight different is a spot of numbness on one leg. So glad I recognised the symptoms and went straight to the hospital even if thier mistake did not help. The scary bit was when I eventual got surgery and he read the detail for consent he said you probably won't regain function you have currently lost, glad he was wrong.

I was 27 and I've been left with permanent nerve damage on my right side. If I hadn't been so ill, I would have taken her to court for negligence. Same with disability, I was refused it because according to someone who worked in an office my condition would get better. By the time I was 38 I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and have used a cane since. I recently found out that I have in my cervical spine, reduced lordosis, c5/6 and c6/7 have degenerative changes. Retrolosthesis at l5/s1. L3/l4, l4/l5 and l5/s1 bulging discs, severe spinal stenosis at l5/s1 and bulging discs in my thoracic spine. That was all there in my scan from 5 years ago when they diagnosed the stenosis but never told me about the other signs of degeneration.

Does the numbness fluctuate in cauda equina or is it concerning only when it's permanently numb? And does numb mean no feeling at all or subjective feeling of tingling but you still feel touch and pressure?

Mine is running down my left leg, I have an appointment with pain management on the 14th. Pain got so bad I called 911, they were honest with me, they said because my vitals were so good the ER would sit me in waiting area, (sitting is worse), so then we did a tele health and we spoke with a nurse and doctor, from the questions they asked me, they advised I try and make it to my pain management appt because they're the only ones that will provide pain meds that's going to be strong enough to help me. If it gets worse to call them back. Opioid pandemic casual users have really put real pain patients through hell, my thing is if the doctors are being so controlled with denying pain meds, where the heck are the street users getting it from 🤔. I just want to be healed and not jump on the opioid addict train while in treatment. Thank you two, I've enjoyed your channel for years. 😊

I've had lower back pain for some time, but recently after working in the yard and cleaning the garage, I developed severe back pain in my lower back down to my left side so bad I couldn't stand to put my weight on my foot.

It's been a nightmare with little relief. Don't know where to turn now. I can barely get around because of the intense pain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

[@crustydribblins]

I'm losing motor control both legs, with brief stabbing pains back-thigh, calf, shin, and ankle. Started Right lower back, migrated to hip/high hamstring, to mid hamstring, to calf, to shin, to ankle, to foot top. Sitting is good, but standing and walking is painful, wobbly, and short duration. Yup, I really think I'm screwed this time. I've already had 2 spine surgeries already.

I have all but the first thing you mentioned. Been to every doctor in our town and even another town after an MRI showed a herniated disc on L5-S1. My legs and feet go really numb just getting up from sleep and walking across the house. I even have nerve impingement in my neck that causes my shins to tingle when I look down with my head. Not a single doctor will do anything to help. I am in so much pain opioids don't help and my skin all over my body feels like a really bad sunburn and I have to take all the sleep aids to get even 2 hours of sleep.

Does having mild saddle numbness followed by acute sciatica qualify as CES, and if there was mild ED issues? Did have issues holding urine a couple of mornings but went away. I’m scared. Would appreciate a note.

[@Preeti-lw9jc]

How are you now?? Did you had surgery ??

[@YOUNGNGRATEFUL]

@@Preeti-lw9jcyes. Come to find out I had multiple levels of fractures of my spine. Apparently if you have the symptoms I identified above - 4 months of having those symptoms is the MAX you can have before becoming paralyzed and/or having permanent nerve damage. In case, I got very scared so I had to contact local surgeons and they directed me to the Emergency Room. They believed it was as serious as I described it. After some scans, I was scheduled for surgery the next morning - which turned out to be around 12 hours. I required a 6 level fusion of my T6-T12. I also have a disease where the bone grows into the spinal cord. The surgeon removed enough bone so that it buys me more time before there is an issue of compression from new bone growth. So, it may grow or may not. But he did remove some extra bone from the inner vertebrae to be safe. It’s now month 5 and I’m just starting to become able to use JUST a walker, whereas I needed a wheelchair solely this entire time - you lose stability and muscle strength during recovery. The recover is tedious and not one you can do alone. My wife had to wipe my butt and still does sometimes because twisting causes really painful cramps of my ribs and upper body. I use a shower chair because of the numbness in my feet that hasn’t 100% gone away, etc. I also broke my leg previous to the spine surgery, which complicates my balance and my pain levels/discomfort levels are different. What I can say for sure is, numbness in any form, the urge you can’t hold pee or poop, and your body releases….followed by weakness in the legs… you will likely 100% need surgery. It’s an emergency. I caught my issue early enough, but I was also misdiagnosed by another spine surgeon which is why my operation and understanding of my spinal compression was delayed, always get a second opinion! A neurologist and MRI scan is what saved me. I hope this helps you in anyway.

[@RichardOwor]

I have a serious back pain when I turn right and left. I have pain at my right hand side ribs connecting to the back. My waist round pains me very severely. Getting up either from a chair or a bed is so painful. My pain does not allow me to walk because even the feet up to the toes pains like you don't have blood.

@ I realize that as I was in the MRI machine and pretty scared. Very thankful it was not. I hope, they did find compression, at L5 deemed minor, so still out here in unwavering nerve pain with my groin going numb and n fire. Urinary and bowel issues. Went there for a reason right? It like, not couda equina? Take some Tylenol. I exaggerate because that happened and another might just go home and suffer, I did for a day but the pain was giving me darker thoughts and I thought F this. after making some noise I will be seeing a Utogynocologist/Surgeon -pudendal nerve? Possibly but my back spine, flank and tailbone still - cannot sit. Anyway, I guess I’m here to say, other reasons, while not classified as serious understandably, should still be handled seriously.
