I tripped over something and flew into an antique baby crib with my nose and teeth. After my nose stopped gushing blood, I didn't give it another thought. The next day my kneecap hurt and was swollen while i was washing the bathroom floor. Two days later we left for vacation. A day or so later, neuropathy pain started in my foot. The two times I had knee replacements i had the worst neuropathy pain imaginable By the time we got home from vacation I was in utter agony and slowly started back on neurotin. Since then I have seen a few Drs., had X-rays, an MRI, and an EMG. It was determined that I have a pinched nerve. Then i started limping out of the clear blue sky. I am scheduled for a consultation this coming Tues to talk about a spinal injection which probably won't be scheduled for a week later. If this doesn't work, I was told I would have to have back surgery. I had back surgery in 2009 and had rods put in my L 3, 4, and 5 vertebrae, but not below or above those verabrae. The pinched nerve is either above or below the L 3,4, and 5.

My question is: how likely is it that the spinal injection will work, and will it stop me from limping? The Neurosurgeon does not know what is causing me to limp. Do you have any idea what is causing me to limp?
