Imagine living life with severe sharp shooting pain radiating down the leg to the foot, weak foot that flops around when you walk, and nothing helps!!
This lovely patient was living this reality. Her MRI is shown below with a large disc herniation in her lower spine. I took her to surgery and removed the pressure off her nerve. Thankfully, she has healed quite well and her pain is completely gone.
Fascinating field of neurosurgery!
