I did not know what L5 has to do with S1. I have not been able to walk more than 5 minutes at a time when I have to sit down to relieve the pain in the legs. This is going on in the last 14 weeks. Clebrex, Vioxx, physio, chinese pain relief did not help. Will try active physio and perhaps Osteopathy later based on CT scan results. Wait listed to see the secialist Feb 2003. Hope I will survive till then. (68)/play badminton and some tennis plus daily workout. Walking and/or standing is the very painful problem. Appreciate your timely useful information very much.

I have a "small central disc protrusion that is slightly eccentric to the left" at my "LS" junction, which I assume is the L5-S1. Now been in pain for 3 1/2 months, but not all the time (thank Goodness) and in varying degrees. I'm doing physical therapy and massage, but I'm not better yet. If you has any other useful web sites. I really want to be able to do the work I was doing before my injury. (natural resource management / biological research in Alaska). Thank you, The visuals helped a lot.

I'm a lot further down the road than you; Cervical Fusion, Thorasic laminectomy, countless MRI's, Myelograms,Cat Scans, EMG's, Cleveland Clinic Angiogram, and they still haven't found the problem. What started out as an annoyance has grown into a very serious problem in 4 years. Not only do I have pain in my back, I can't walk without a cane and all my plumbing; bladder, bowel and sexual functions are screwed up. just went for my 6th MRI and can see a disk bulge at l5,S1. Meet with my surgeon in two weeks. If this is the case, I'm leaning towards laser surgery. Much less intrusive. My laminectomy still hursts after five months. Don't think I would have opted for it if I had a second chance. Don’t take this lightly.

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.blogenough.com/?p=35#comment-33 Aloha... Thanks for the great article... I'm a 34 y.o.male on Maui and have been VERY active sportswise until recently. Surfing, windsurfing, Beach V-Ball and a lot more... normally if I don't exercise daily I go crazy... Now I'm beyond that. I was diagnosed yesterday from my MRI as having a severe left side side L5/S1 heniation and compression witha piece broken off like your friend. Being a big wave surfer I have a HIGH pain tolerance but the Sciatica is unbearable and only relieved by Morphine Sulphate (even then the pain makes it's way through quite intensly sometimes. It's been 2 weeks and already the inactivity is making me nuts!!! Is it true that surgery is the only cure and if so why is the "Only" nuero on island telling me to lay around for another 4-6 weeks to see if it improves. I really believe in conservative therapy but I want my LIFE back and if surgery is the only option lets get it over with and have it done in the safest, most advanced and non-intrusive way... help!!! anyone with comments or advice "PLEASE" email me at remaxmaui@hotmail.com Warmest Aloha Brian K. Aloha…
