Sciatica?
If your MRI says L4, L5 or L5, S1, you’re not alone. These are two of the most common levels associated with sciatica, nerve compression, leg pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Many people focus on treating the pain without fully understanding what’s causing it. In this video, I explain how nerve compression at L4, L5 and L5, S1 can lead to symptoms that travel from your lower back into your buttock, down your leg, and even into your foot.
If you’ve been diagnosed with L4, L5 or L5, S1 compression, I’d like to hear your experience. Have you had physical therapy, spinal injections, a discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, or another treatment? Your story may help someone else who is facing the same diagnosis, and others who have been through it may be able to share what helped them.
