I really hope you do not go down my same road and your only issue is your gait. If you get that first leg spasm you are going to think someone is ripping off your [censored]. Your best bet to not going down my road is to get that MRI done now...not 3 - 4 mos after it happens.
Go to the right type of doctor too! I have seen them all neurologist, neuro-surgeons, spinal orthopedists and orthopedists. Like I said rule out the big ones than get down to the smaller issues. Pirforimis syndromes heal as it is muscle but pinched nerves cause of herniated discs can take months and months naturally and during that time your nerve is getting damaged which has alot to do with your leg strength.

I hear you, JS. I will heed your warning. On the lighter side, our conversation reminds me of a joke. Guy goes to China on business, shacks up with a call girl the night before he comes back to U.S. On the flight, he starts feeling sick, with a terrible looking rash on his privates. As soon as he gets home, he goes to his doctor. Doctor takes one look and almost starts crying. Says, "I hate to tell you this, but you have Harimoto disease. It's an extremely rare Oriental venereal disease, and the only way to save your life is to perform a penectomy."
Guy panics, runs out of the office to the nearest bar. Downs several shots of whiskey. Calms down a bit and reasons that he should go see an Oriental doctor, who might know more about the illness. Finds one in the phone book and rushes right over. Doc takes one look and says, "Oh, yes, you have Harimoto disease."
Guy says, "Oh, no, that's what my own doctor said. He said they'd have to cut my penis off in order to save my life."
Oriental doctor say, "No, no, no. Amelican doctor, always want operate. Everything, operate. You no need operate. You go home, you rest, do nothing - in two week, [censored] fall off by self.
