Pinched Nerve? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yougetthesmiles · 06-07-2008, 05:38 PM

I think I may have a pinched nerve in my back.

My left thigh is all numb and weird feeling. I also have been having trouble with my left hip.

Would a pinched nerve make the top of my thigh feel numb?

did u consult with a chiropractor?

When I had sciatica, pinched my sciatic nerve, my lower right back would hurt and I would have shooting pains from my hip all the way down to my leg to my toes. kind of a lightening, electric shock type feeling. VERY painful to say the least. They would come out of nowhare when I was walking or standing and I would lose all control and use of my leg till they stopped.
Chiropracters are great

Sorry I'm not much help, lol!

I had a pinched nerve on my L4, L5 & S1 with a herniated disc. I went to a chiropractor and he said I was to far gone and suggested surgery. The pain would start on my hip and work down my leg to my foot. I would get horrible craps on my leg like it was on fire. I couldn't lay flat on my back either because that would aggreviate it. A year of spinal blocks and bottles of vicodin later I had the surgery and I still have nerve damage on my foot but I walk fine.

I don't have shooting pain, my thigh is just numb and it's been this way for several months.

I did go to the chiropractor several times but it did not seem to help.

Does it also feel sometimes hot or icy ? I have that too, specialy if i am on my feet for a while, and the skin when i touch feels weird. My Dr pointed to my hip on the front and said that a nerve is pinched and there realy is not anything he can do. If you find out diffrent let me know. It hurts at times too. Mine is on my right side, got a diffrent problem on my left lower back, and if i do too much i am in agony for days. Cant function without my heating pad. I had this for yrs now, and about ready to go back in to demand some good pain meds to function. just go to Dr and find out whats going on , maybe they can help you, i waited too long !

I'm not the type to go to the doctor so I have just been dealing with it. Ice and heat.

Same here, going to Dr when i have to ! just thought of going as my lower back is hurting allmost none stop unless i sit on a heating pad

my son in law gave a couple of his painpills and it realy took the edge off . Its pretty bad when your 79 yr old Mother can outwork you

Went the Chiropracter route too and didn help ! Good luck with yours and let me know what works for you ,and i will do the same

Right now we have no insurance

so I'm pretty much just dealing with it.

I don't want to have surgery if thats what the doc says, I'm not for it.

I'm trying to exercise more but even that don't seem to be helping.

4doggiemama · 06-08-2008, 04:48 PM

Wonder what info you would come up with if you "googled" it? Sorry your leg is giving you problems.

I dont want surgery either, i just want to go on some pain managment, my Dr said there is nothing he could do, but that was 3 yrs ago. That side is not my only problem though, my other side is bothering me even more... probebley dont help that i gained a good deal of weight

i use to walk 3-5 miles a day but cant do that anymore, so the weight keeps piling on... i take the brats for walks twice a day but you know how that goes.... gotto stop and sniff every 10 feet...

magsy17 · 06-09-2008, 04:04 PM

Ok ladies.........3 years ago I had my surgery I also had no insurance. I went to the ER I don't know how many times, I did the spinal bock the maximum allowed. My Mom told me oh no you can become crippled wheel chair bound. So the year after she passed I couldn't even stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and I was walking into the ER for the last time with an old persons walker.

The best thing I did was have that surgery. I recooped in two weeks and went from taking 8 vicodin a day to none. Sometimes I still get muscle cramps and my little toe is numb but if you are getting worse I highly recommend it. Oh and of course the first thing your Dr. is going to say is to lose weight!

Oh and the surgeon said it was the worst strangulation of a nerve that he had ever seen.

Missy, is because of your work? you said you've had this for about 7 months.. isn't that when you started working with the lady? could it be possible you strained your body too much?

I don't lift on her, she is pretty mobil.

It all started one evening when I went out dancing, I danced for 3 or more hours and when I got home I could hardly even lay on my side.

I have been having hubby massage my lower back and hip and been putting like icy hot on it, but still nothing seems to help it.
