First Time with SciaticaI fell at work pulling some wire and fell on my left side on my back, right by the belt line. So they took me to the Dr. and he did x-rays and said nothing broken. Okay, great. They sent me home for a few days when I came back it was still hurting so I went back to the Dr. and he sent me to another Dr. and he gave PT and an MRI. Results came back all clear and that there was no signs of tumors or pinched nerves that it was the clearest MRI he had seen, so I said well that's great, but what is causing my pain on my hip and down through my buttock area and down the back of my leg with sharp pains down to my calf area? Then he he said it was a pulled hamstring and sent me back for more PT, but the pain feels the same and my headaches continue.Both Doctors say that physically nothing seems wrong and that they gave me more PT and then to take some kind of physical test to find out what my limitations are that and it will take about 3 hours to take the test so I am getting worried because I don't believe they are treating my symptoms correctly. My PT says that he believes I have a pinched nerve even though the MRI was clean. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated thank you. - Joseph First Time with Sciatica to Sciatica 1/15/11 |
