In the Summer of 2015, up until January of 2016, I suffered from chronic ba=k pain caused by a couple of horse riding falls, but no neural symptoms. 1= mid-january I had a tingling down the back of my thigh on my left leg whi=h brought on terrible sciatica. I did visit a physio therapist who confirmed that I had a slipped di=c, however, I was in the final year of university and tried to focus on my=studies. The sciatica did not subside and in March '16 I realised that=my leg was becoming increasingly numb and I had foot-drop. Towards the end of April '16, few other symptom= caused me to see another specialist who suggested I go to hospital immedi=tly since my neurological examination pointed to potential cauda equina. 1= hospital, an MRI confirmed that my L5/51 disc was badly prolapsed. Very soon after I had a micro-disectomy =AO at this level. A few days after the operation the sciatica and numbness persisted. Since t=e prolapse was pronounced my surgeon suggested that significant time was n=eded in order to allow the nerves to heal. In September '16, I had a s=eroid injection since the sciatica remained. The injection failed to work at all, therefore, my surgeon decid=d to go ahead with a second MRI. The MRI showed that there was some scar t=ssue at the 15/51 level and possible re-herniation. He considered fusion, =owever, the 14/15 level looked weak (- he did consider whether this disc may also be contributing to the =ciatica).

Following the operation, the sciatica returned 2 weeks later and=has since persisted until now. I am yet to have an MRI following the=most recent operation. I hope this medical saga all makes sense! I know you have been a good frien= of daddy's for many years and I am very grateful for your advice.
