Suggest Remedy For Pinching Nerves Radiating To Legs And Toes

Hi I was diagnosed through MRI that I have scolisis, loss of normal lordosis, ostheophyte disc complex, disc bulge and spondylosis. I had a bad fall in may of 2010. Did chinese acupunture helped only for a while and by early Jan I could not walk with sever pain and did an epidural steroid injection. However it helped for awhile by now my weakness in my left arm and pinching of nerves through my fingers that radiates to my leg and to my toes. Prolong sitting is not possible. What would you reccomen I do? Thank you

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

I advice you to start strengthening exercise for you back and abdominal muscle.
Also the specific exercise for scoliosis. As you may be aware that one side it will be concave and one side convex. If your right side is concave than

For concave side- do stretching. Place the pillows and sleep on left side of the body. Opposite(ie right side) will get stretch.
For convex side do strengthening exercise.

These two exercise will help preventing further damage.
Hot water fermentation will relieve the pain.

If still pain persist, consult a physiotherapist, who will help in reducing pain and radiating pain by using the electrotherapy. And also will demonstrate the strengthening exercise which would take care of weakness.

Hope I have answered you query, If still you have any question, kindly revert back to me. I will be happy to help you.
Your thank you note will be very much appreciated!!
Look forward
With best wishes,
TEhzib Saiyed(PT)
