pretty bad numbness (From worst to best) .. heel, bottom left side of left foot, back of left calf, side of left thigh
often have persistent pain in lower back (no shooting pains)
just had an MRI and will see physiatry department on friday
also getting a crowd recommending i see a chiropractor ... never been to one
wondering if i can resume any kind of lifting
went in the gym and tried out 95# benchpress ... didn't seem to cause any discomfort whatsoever
would also consider trying overhead press though clearly that involves the lower back and left leg
