Severe Pain Spreading Through Legs

I had a sudden onset of pain in my right hip and buttock area. It spread into my grown and down my leg, both front and back. After several weeks, it became painful for me to crouch, as the pain had spread to behind and to the right of my knee and had become severe. Eventually I periodically experienced pain down my right calf and into my foot, especially the bottom of my foot. I had a series of tests – MRIs and X-rays of my lower back and right hip and leg – none of which showed anything more than mild degenerative disease of the lower back, L5 and S1 and of the right hip. There was slight inflammation in one section of the right hip. I have been to chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists and other acupuncturists, but I have had only occasional temporary relief.

Today, my acupuncturist, Helen Law, worked on relieving tension in my muscles, in my back and hip by gently manipulating my muscles, and within two minutes, my pain was gone. When I got up and ‘tested’ the results, sitting, crouching, I experienced no pain. I have not felt like this for 10 months. I hope now that this is a new beginning for me. I am truly overwhelmed!
