Have you gotten a medical exam with Xrays or imaging? This sounds very awful. I have various aches and pains from arthritis and spinal issues but no diagnosis. I have a tight IT band on one leg which requires stretching and its been a slow recovery plus a muscle issue on the other side. It does sound like what you have could be disabling. Keep pursuing medical help until you get an answer. So no, I don't have the same but this sounds very much like a spinal injury a patient had when I worked in a hospital. But I am not diagnosing or treating you, she just said kind of the same thing you are saying and the imaging showed a type of spine damage that I don't remember now. I am hoping the best for you.

Thanks for your reply. I have several diagnoses. Herniated discs, collapsing of the lumbar discs, arachnoiditis, secondary fibromyalgia. These diagnoses appeared over the course of many years and many treatments including surgery. I do have permanent nerve damage. I know I should probably get new imaging done. Just wanted to check in with others who may have had a similar experience.

Its kind of irregardless of what others may have experienced. With all that you have going on, you need to see your Ortho or Spine Dr. and get an exam to see what's progressing or causing the new symptoms.

The major reason for sciatica is herniated disc or bone spur in the spine presses on the nerve. The pain may transfer to the back of the leg and typically affects one side of the body. The excellent way to reduce pain is doing physiotherapy from trained physios [ https://www.physioactive.ca/ ]. Extension and flexion back exercises help reduce pain by providing easy movement of the spine. Acupuncture, soft tissue therapy and joint mobilizations are often used.
