Pain ( only) in foot from prolapsed disc
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi there , for the last six months I have had the most excruciating, burning - type pain on the sole of my right foot. X-rays, MRIs etc of the foot indicate that it is fine - there is no inflamation, arthritis etc . However a recent lumbar MRI showed a herniated L5 disc pressing on the S1 nerve. Could this give pain ONLY in my foot ? I have no pain in my back or down my leg ? My doctor seems to think this is possible but I am a bit sceptical !! Any thoughts ?

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. From my experience anyhting is possible once these nerves are up set or damaged. I have had 3 micro discectomies and now have pain deadness and numbness in my right foot. There has been pain in my back and my right leg, but I have learnt that these things come and go, and there does not appear to be any logical theory to these things. I don't know where you are in the country, but I would definitely not go near a consultant called Mr Germon at Derriford hospital, he done the worse damage possible, and is one of the most arrogant men I have ever met. It is a disaster zone in that hospital, don't believe there website, it is totally misleading, about much they care. So from my experience I would say it is quite possible just to have the symptoms you are discribing.
I do hope you can get it sorted
