My lower back right side radiating down my right leg into my foot both too and underneath sometimes with pins and needles, I am due to have Spinal Cord Simulater inserted but am a bit unsure about this.any information on this would be great but I have developed another problim this is happening a few time a day and started about 2 weeks ago I have very bad pain in my left leg and hip which when it gets bad makes my breathless with pain on till I sit down, I have had a brain scan recently which came back ok mostly except the following- Nonspecific Foci of white matter, hyperintensity in the periventricular region which in the appropriate clinical context could be due to early Demyelination?? What does all this mean??

Hi,
I am Dr.Bruno and Let me answer your query.
Based on what You have said, I would suggest that you first concentrate on your low back pain radiating to your right leg and foot.
This is most likely due to compression of the nerve roots. This needs to be addressed immediately
The Non Specific Foci of White Matter Hyper intensity in Peri Ventricular Region can be addressed patiently
If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
