Pain in the A-S1-S1

Recovery was quick but not 100%... have had a "lump" the size of a large grape on right side S1 joint before and after the operation that would become painful if I walked too much or worked on a ladder. The location would be about where the "dimples" on a persons back would be.

Last week during a flight I scooted down in my seat and propped my knees on the bulkhead in front of me...it felt good at the time but soon after I developed severe pain in right side lower back with explosive pain in the S1 that shot down my leg if any pressure was applied...like walking. Had to crawl around for a while and if I did walk...extremely painful and had to sit down after only a few steps.

1 week later...MRI = L2-3 "Annular bulge with new right subarticular extruded disc herniation with minimal caudal migration. The disc extrusion measures upwards of 8 mm AP by 7 mm transverse and results in deformity of the right ventral lateral the cal sac with lateral recess stenosis and mass effect on the descending right L3 nerve root."

Will keep you informed of what happens next. - Jon
