[@its_not_true]

Oh man my heart goes out to him. He can't sit at all!! That is misery. It must be uncomfortable too trying to lay with the one leg always bent. I hope he gets some relief soon. 🙏

On his way to surgery

[@joeykunz]

My heart goes out to that guy, i had lost all ability to push off. Had microdicsctomy regained ability to push off and walk correctly but never regained full feeling and have permanent numbness. Overall very happy I had surgery.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thank you for telling your story Joey. And everybody wants to have surgery but sometimes it’s a necessity to prevent permanent long-term nerve damage.

[@annmartin1376]

I've had a microdisectomy and it really over all helped but still have slight weakness in left foot ankle

[@OrthoEvalPal]

@@annmartin1376 can sometimes takes 6 months or more to regain strength.

[@reenarani3313]

What is the treatment for someone whose nerve is damaged and cannot put weight on it.

[@annmartin1376]

how do you differentiate between a case of plantar fascilitis and pain that is sometimes on the outside of the foot and heel ? One of the ways I can think of is when you take that first few steps in the morning and your foot hurts but gets better as you walk? I've even had a bad case of si joint subluxation where I fell backwards that affected the foot.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Very welcome

[@denvergano1753]

I want to ask about it feels like there is a enlargebone under my ankle

[@EytanKoch]

If it's an S1 radic, it's not really "sciatica", assuming that sciatica means sciatic neuropathy.

[@vinniemmmm]

Sciatica is a broad term. More accurately he has an s1 sensory and motor rediculopathy.

[@EytanKoch]

@@vinniemmmmyeah that’s my point. Nerve root peripheral nerve.

[@whendis.roberts9903]

Why has he been suffering for a year and half? Is it Doctor negligence or he didn't go to a Doctor? Not good....at all

[@swarleywoo2637]

This is the US. Probably lack of insurance or lack of access.

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Please don't judge him. If you don't have health insurance, doctors are not interested in working with you, they don't even want to make a payment plan with you. Disgraceful. This is America.

[@whendis.roberts9903]

He let it go too long. He probably has permanent nerve damage. He might need surgery.
