I am 34 and have had 9 knee surgeries for various issues. 8 of them have been on my right knee. After the last surgery I continued having pain. The doctors did an MRI and found the following problems with by back. Here is what the MRI showed:
L4-5: Broad based disc bulge and central disc protrusion with osteophytic ridging. Mild central canal stenosis with mild foraminal stenosis. Moderate size hemangioma within L5 vertebral body measuring 1.2 cm. Mild degenerative disk disease with central disk protrusion at L4-5.
I have experienced numbness, pain, heaviness, and tingling all down my right leg for months. I have also gone through NSAID's, two ephidurals, pain medicine and pphysical therapy. None of which have helped.
What would anyones guess be as to what my doctor may want to do at this point?
