Same- they forced me to be tested before I could get my spinal fusion surgery which was four weeks ago today now. I no longer have the sciatic pain and leg pain and numbness. Now it has been replaced with low back pain in the bones and down outer thigh bones and pelvic bones at night. I am so thankful to be able to walk normal again. Still taking it slow though, one fall before it’s all healed and I’m likely to be stuck in a wheelchair.
