How long does it usually take before nerve root compression becomes permanent????
I have had exaserbation of existing nerve root injury from previous microdiscectomy. But the last 6 months It has slowly gotten worse and now I am getting pain in left calf twitching, spasms,and just a general annoying constant buzzing feeling at back of both legs.Plus what i feel is nerve root pain in my back. My issue is bone on bone DDD L5/S1. So I probably have foraminal stenosis. I am scared if I do not get something done soon then the PAIN will be PERMANENT!
Is there a general guideline?
