I had to get surgery because of a herniated disk pressed so hard against my spine that I could not walk because of scaiatic nerve pressure.
It's a weird sort of pain. I knew that there was NOTHING wrong with my leg, that the pain was all but mental, and even pressing my foot on the ground added no pain because the pain was constant. However, I could not put any pressure on my left leg because my brain would not let me. Although there was no more pain when putting pressure on my leg than there was without, my brain would not let me take a step with what would otherwise be a perfectly healthy leg.
