    Hi everybody,Thanks for all the replies my last ct scan states that the main issue is..Right posterolateral l5-s1 disc compressing on the right s1 nerve root as the main cause of the pain,also have at l4-5 shallow broad based posterior disc bulging contacting and slightly flattening the anterior theca.And some degeneration around a few places that i can't remember off the top of my head right now.
    I do not wish to have any back surgery until a last resort.

    Sometimes the pain feels like hot acid running down my leg and buttock while being stabbed with a carving knife.Truly a pain i have never felt in my life,sometimes i wish i could just amputate my arse cheek and right leg.And be done with it.
    @bendigo I happy for you that you have it sorted out now and that it was benign also.Those two pics you posted i can't see them for some reason?
    I have also started to smoke some green just before i go to bed.Seems to help me nod off easier.
    It really has affected my trading can't concentrate for too long because pain just keeps uppercutting me.
    I have not tried the epidural steroid injections that farlap mentioned yet.I'm getting really annoyed with the pills i'm taking.I have taken more pills in the last year and half than i have taken in my whole life so far.I always had the attitude of stuff pills i don't need that crap,times have changed. Sorry if none of this makes sense i'm a bit scattered at this time.Apologies.
