No disks
Yes, I agree about the disks being a possible culprit for some people. In my case though, I no longer have organic disks left - mine are Prodiscs and bone from fusion. So, I am thinking more along the lines of a possible cyst or scar tissue causing this chronic nerve irritation. It's a mystery, really...
