I hope you find some relief for your back soon!! I herniated a disk at L5 in my spine and had unbearable pain, numbness, and loss of muscle control in my right foot/leg for almost 2 years. Luckily, I finally went to a new doctor (at the University of Michigan Spine Clinic) and had 2 rounds of spinal injections. Now, years later, no pain, full use of my leg, and only a little numbness in my right foot. One of the best things about a dog is WALKING them, which is great for a bad back.

Feel better soon!
