Yeah, look at the size of the thing. It's HUGE. It becomes the peroneal nerve around your knee. This is why it hurts so damned badly.
thingstodo: Understood, but I really wouldn't want a chiro messing with my alignment if the doctors didn't see anything unusual on MRIs, Xrays, and Ultrasounds. Disc problems aren't just due to simple alignment issues - trauma, repetitive movements, strain... can cause issues with the disc, thus the sciatic nerve.
Seaver: I bet you couldn't move your leg because with the disc pressing so hard on the nerve, messages couldn't get to the muscles of your leg to tell them to contract and move your leg. And that sounds *awful*, by the way. Glad you're doing better.
Updates, Brian?
