You said "So the hypothesis is that some lingering vertebrate problem or pinched nerve is hampering my legs" That's what I suggested to you in a tweet, remember. Let's hope it's something as simple at that. BTW I have this problem too and get nerve twinges in my leg knee and toes until I can manip my back back into shape!Helen A.

The negatives are good, but knowing what is happening (and why) would be better. I loathe and detest MRIs (claustrophobia and the noise) and only the thought that if I scream my lungs out we have to start again keeps me still. And the last one on my brain lasted nearly two hours.<br />Good luck - I really hope you get some answers soon. Answers which allow you to recognise the enemy.
