[QUOTE="jal, post: 167467, member: 3477"] I am sorry you are hurting. I can truley sympathize with that type of pain. The sciatic nerve runs over your buttock and down the side of your leg to the foot. The pain with-a disc is excrutiating and the nerve (depending on the damage) will/can tingle. I would see either the ortho or a neuro surgeon and have an MRI done. I ruptured a disc at age 14 - had it removed. I herniated a disc at 19 - 2 years of therapy to get rid of that pain. I herniated another disc around age 26 and then at 31 the piece of disc that they left in from my operation came free and floated to lodge itself in between a vertabrae and a nerve. I did the cortisone shots for that (2 of them) never again. They are painful. I actually got sick with-bronchitis and coughed it out of place. I could actually feel my foot again (I had lost feeling because of the location). I went back to my neuro surgeon for that last one and he wanted to do a fusion which would have put me in a body cast for 6-8 months. I had a young difficult child - no way was I going to go thru that. So I tried the ortho route and did therapy and the shots. I guess I just got a bit of luck coughing the darn thing out of position. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
