My mum had an appointment with a specialist today because she’s been having pain in her legs for years that has been getting worse and worse to the point where she can really only stand or walk for about 5 minutes at a time.

She’s seen multiple specialists over the years. All have been useless. And blamed aging.

When it first started I told her it sounded like nerve damage or a pinched nerve because I get sciatica and it sounded very similar.

The specialist today looked at the MRI and instantly knew it was Spinal Stenosis (ie. the spinal cord is being pinched by a shifted vertebrae).

He also said that the MRI from 2019 showed it as well, and quite obviously. When I asked him why it wasn’t picked up back then, all he could do was shrug.

Anyway. If you don’t get the answer you’re looking for, don’t think that you have to put up with pain. You don’t. Just keep asking until someone does their job properly.
