Subcutaneous nerve entrapment

[lizf]

Hi there - i had previously posted regarding back, hip and leg pain. I have had a diskectomy at L6-S1 four years ago. I am now experiencing extreme hip and sciatic pain and it is thought that I have another herniation at L4/L5. However - I have been reading about nerve entrapment and the symptoms. Does anyone know much about this because it seems to cause of a lot of leg and hip (also abdominal) pain ...

Lizf, I have had abdominal subcutaneous nerve entrapment for 7 years. It started with surgery on my colon. None of the doctors could figure it out, the pain is excruciating, in my lower right abdomen. Years ago I had a laminectomy on my 5th lurabar disc. I have always had back problems. The last ct showed a lot of facet involvement and pressure on the nerves. The 1st doctor I went to was trying to find the back involvement, but it got lost in the shuffle of doctors changing, etc. It was only recently that I knew for sure my back was involved, because my hip hurts horribly the same tim as my abdomen on the same side. If I can get my back calmed down, my abdomen calms down somewhat. Not totally. That's all I can tell you, but it is so good that I can now find on the internet that there is a connection.
