  • Nah, sorry, different person than you were initially responding to. I was out to breakfast and just wrote that quickly on my phone.

    It was pinched for about 3-4 weeks before my physical therapist finally realized what I’d told him at the start - that my calf was literally paralyzed. He was like, “Oh… that’s, that’s not good. You need to go to the spine doctor like, immediately.” (Dude sucked, but it was the very beginning of COVID so my options were limited.)

    Got me in to see the spine doc the next day and I got emergency cortisone injections by the end of the week.

    I got usage of my calf back, and significant reduction in pain. But I never got back the full amount of feeling in the right two toes of my right foot, that side of that foot, and stretching up to about mid shin height on the same side. I have pressure sensitivity still. And even touch, kinda. It’s like when a limb is asleep. But fuck it I’ll take that over the feeling of daggers and lava I had before.
