It s crushed the sciatic nerve to my legs and leaves them in a bad way and now awaiting results of second mri to discover why my arms are in a lot of pain too and my hands spasm. The pain has forced me to leave my job and I no longer have a normal day to day life which is hard for me to deal with. I am currently waiting to see a Neuro surgeon to see if they can help. Recently my back has been going very very icy cold and I am getting bubbling sensation coming up from bottom of my spine and haven t a clue what could it be many thanks for your time

Hello, It could be due to nerve compression by prolapse disc. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI spine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
