Had a quick pain in my back (while brushing my teeth)Had quite a lot of pain for about 6 weeks, but the pain is not so bad now, I just do not have complete normal use of the left leg.
When I stand for a few minutes, in one spot, if has given way on me and I was on the floor without realizing what was happenning. I also notice when I walk, my left leg sometimes seems to 'drag', and when I go up stairs, I notice that unless I really pay attention, my left foot hits the edge of the stair, then I have to make sure I can raise it up higher. Going downstairs, I go down with my right foot, and put my left foot onto the step where my right foot is.
