Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I went to my Neuro a few days ago as my lumbar pain is getting a lot worse and now traveling across to my right side. So far the x-rays taken 2 weeks ago show degenerative arthritis and symptoms suggest sciatica. Neuro wants an MRI as she highly suspects herniated discs as pain is moving so rapidly. I am not a complainer and can handle a lot of pain. It's simply that this lower back pain is rather uncomfortable, especially when I sit here at my PC I usually have to bend front wards or lean on the arm of the chair to gain a little relief. And when I try and stand over sink doing the dishes - forgetaboutit - lol - as within seconds it really hurts. This is just not like me. Additionally, lately have been feeling a warm sensation radiate from left hip traveling down leg to big toe. Some times can view vein in front of leg between shin and knee kinda bulging out. When I shared this with Neuro she said it could be my diabetic neuropathy. I see my Rheumatologist in an another month as shes been handling my various illnesses including PMR and NP. Should I be seeing an Orthopaedic Physician for these symptoms, even the bulging discs in my neck for whom my Neuro has been handling for a while?
