pain
by louie7, Jul 19, 2008 03:54PM
I have a L5 bone spur my MRI says. I have been having pain getting in and out of the car.
Also, I have pain laying on my back and opening my legs for sex.
Are these symtomatic of L5 bone spur issues?
I think my husband does not believe me.
It seems like any movement involving opening my legs causes pain?

If the bone spur is compressing vital nerve structures, then yes this could be the source of your pain. However, a small isolated bone spur may not fully explain this amount of pain.
I believe other factors should be looked into such as possible vascular problems like inadequate blood supply to the legs and thighs. This can be attributed to high cholesterol or blood pressure problems, and these should be checked as well.
A primary neuropathy involving the pelvic and thigh nerves may also be the problem. This can result with nutritional deficiency problems such as the B vitamins, calcium and vitamin E.
