The condition,that musketeer describes,sounds an awful lot like
what I had to do & it eventually turned out to be a shattered disc,
at first they thought that it was a slipped disc & had me in traction
Luckily,I had a Dr.that figured it out.I have neuropothy(nerve damage)& it also sounds like that,when it flares up!I would suggest,having your Dr. test everything.PAIN SUCKS!Good Luck!
