Hi I had a ruptured disc that caused so much pain in my leg and got worse to the point that it was causing insipient cauda equina symptoms. Got an operation and that solved that but kept on having severe backache radiating to my hip and groin and leg. Now been diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction and had si joint and facet joint injections. This has helped some but not a lot so far.

Hi Emma 2017 what operation did you have????. It seems as though you have something doneto yourself .And few years later you start with different symptoms and it all relates back to original problems.Which was operation doesn't seem to control for long term .Let me know if anything changes bye 4 now ☺
