Update - L radicular leg pain & foot drop almost resolved
Unfortunately symptoms evolved to become bilateral gluteal, pelvic & groin - 2 weeks ago
When the pain got to 9-10/10 & I couldn't sleep / walk, I decided to forego watching the Hungarian Grand Prix & head to Urgent Care at PGH instead - raised CRP & neutrophilia
MRI on Sunday at Fortius (amazing service) - raging bacterial disciitis & epidural abscess
Don't tell anyone but it's affecting the psoas so I can't SLR 😆
So now in hospital awaiting PICC line and 2-3 months antibiotics 😕❎

Update for those interested! 16 days post discectomy Minimal pain - low grade 2/10 neural ache buttock and fibula head / shin Worse at night and morning but variable Numbness is more annoying! Tib ant power recovering Doing simple upper body weights typically seated or cable Iso rehab for quad, hamstrings and tib ant Stationary bike & elliptical trainer - easy steady state I’m behaving and listening to my brilliant physio Chris Whittle @puresportsmed

@DrJN_SportsMed Lovely images James. Can I ask what probe you're for this? Is it a dedicated pre-set?

Injections that stop pain are an amazing thing. How do local anaesthetics stop pain? What makes the numbing effect wear off? And what should be done if it doesn’t? A thread on nerve function by a nerve surgeon. #regionalanaesthesia #localanaesthetic #neurapraxia #conductionblock

A tale of two ACLs .....
R - 35 years ago, open procedure
L - arthroscopic hamstring reconstruction - with successful return to skiing
Either way, the procedures did nothing to prevent development of osteoarthritis - medial compartments most severely affected
But then we know this from contemporary research - ACL recon doesn't prevent future OA. In fact it's associated with a slightly higher risk ....! 🧐

A beautiful video of axial cuts of human body, literally from toe to head. These axial cuts are something your doctor look at during CT or MRI scans just in digital version.🥩🥩🥩
