I want to hold off as long as i possibly can, the amount of pain is quite bad at times i almost never can walk properly always having to limp with the bad shooting pain in my left leg and my bak is constantly pinching. i have been trying a few exercises but 98% of the time it makes the pain much worse. thank you for your help though it's given me a lil more to think bout an prehaps a few more questions to ask my specialists.
