Hi, I had a head on car accident in July 2008. my airbags did not deploy but I have had chronic back pain along with numbness in my left leg and sometimes my right leg. My left leg is weak and I fall over if I stand on it. I also sometimes get stabbing pain down my left leg.
I have had x-rays, CT scans, and MRI's and i have bulging discs at L3/4,L4/5 &L5/S1. I live with the worst pain imagineable I find I need a walking stick to help keep me from falling over however this will cause other problems.
I am on a drug called Lyrica, Tramal, lexepro(anti depression med) and over the counter pain relief. I have had two nerve root injections which were unsuccessful.
A suggestion has been put forward by a Doctor that I have Chemical leakage from one of these discs and the chemical is leaking on the nerve.
Could you please what he means and what can be done about it if anything? I am seeing a Psychologist and he doesn't know either.
This pain by the way is there at All times, standing, sitting, driving, Sleeping. If I bend forward or lift anything it increases the pain level dramatically.
Anxiously yours,
Brett Clements
