If you've seen me walk in the past few years you may notice I developed a limp on the left leg. Being born pigeon toed and being in leg braces from age 3 to age 8, I just figured getting older was causing what was incorrectable without leg surgery was just becoming more defined with age. When I started having some numbness in the lower leg recently I decided to get it checked out. Went to some guy who shocked the daylights out of my legs and then poked them with needles to test my nerves. Turns out I apparently have pressure on Nerve L5 according to the test results. So the next step is an MRI to determine where and how the pressure is being generated on that nerve. My PCP says I will likely have to undergo some form of back surgery.
As I recall several on here have been down this road. So I was hoping I could get the names of the specialist used and how successful the procedure was. Any post surgery experience shared would also be helpful. Thanks.
In the end I hope to be able to drive a manual shift car again. Would like to be back in a manual so I can enjoy rolling through the gears again though I do not plan any returns to the track other than to be a member of the peanut gallery.
