A member asked:
I have been having issues with my lower back and pain in my left leg that radiates down to my foot. i've had 3 l5-s1 esi's & left s1 selective nerve root block. now i am experiencing a vibration in my left foot. what could this be?

Back on the Block!!: That vibratory feeling could be an equivalent sensation to the pain you've had, via a slightly different nerve pathway. Your past story suggests that rather than something weird and new. The best bet would be to see if it gets worse or if it stays that way for a few weeks. In either case let your back doctor know. If you get weaker on that side, that's a warning to be seen sooner than later.
