[quote=Anonymous]When my husband had what he thought was a sciatica flare up, he eventually went to the doctor for it and it turns out he needed surgery for a disc issue in his spine. They first just gave him pain meds but he kept twisting his ankle and stumbling. When he mentioned that to the doctor on the follow up visit, she seemed concerned and asked him to walk on his heels. He couldn't do it. He had neuropathy and foot drop. She sent him to a neuro for a consult and after an MRI, was told he needed surgery. He was immediately pain free after the surgery and hasn't had a problem since, however, the nerve damage is somewhat permanent and he still has weakness in the one foot/ankle that was affected.[/quote]
