[@emjohnson7207]

I also had a herniated disk that split and I guess the gel came out and 'crushed some nerves' per surgeon. Bottom of foot numb but sitting too long in low position has me struggling to a bed or sofa to lay flat for a few minutes, because leg too painful to touch. Dr finally dx: "Radiculopathy describes a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column. The pinched nerve can occur at different areas along the spine (cervical, thoracic or lumbar). Symptoms of radiculopathy vary by location but frequently include pain, weakness, numbness and tingling."

@@PsychoKittee1 I don't have MS, but I do have extensive nerve damage. The deep pressure is definitely spot on. If you lightly touch my shoulder, the front of my chest, arm and upper back I don't feel it at all. But if you press harder (or I wear a bra) it goes to immediate pain. There's no in between it's nothing-> pain. Drives me nuts because it's hard to explain, and once I found an explanation that seems to make sense I get that look of 'are you making this up', or 'it shouldn't do that, it doesn't fit your condition ' etc.

@@PsychoKittee1 completely agree. A regular person I don't bother trying to convince, but medical personnel I have to get thru to.

I have a dumb herniated disc in my lower back and when it happened that's when I got a tiny insight into what that "tingling sensation" is like. I can't feel the outside of my lower leg or top of my foot and I can't bend my toes very well. If I don't take my medication, the nerve sensation is really painful for me. I gotta stay on that PT grind! Thanks for sharing this!

[@coleandcharisma]

Thanks for sharing!

[@minniesmomma6374]

You have to be careful with nerves. I had back surgery when I was in my early 30’s for a ruptured disc. L5S1. I couldn’t walk. So did ok until I was 57. Then I developed drop foot. Surgery again that did not correct it. Physical therapy, some thing called needling. UGH! Nothing helped and it got worse where I cannot stand without holding onto something and use a walker. My foot tingles all the time as well as parts of my leg at times. Hope you don’t have further problems but the tingling sensation means the disc is pressing on the nerve and if it does it too long it can damage the nerve for good.

[@0justBETHANY]

@@minniesmomma6374 mine is the same disc and I'm in my early 30s. Decided to not go surgery route and focus on PT. Tests showed the nerves are not being permanently damaged.
