However, instead of a normal herniated disk this time, the disk was pinching a large nerve bundle leading into her right lower leg. She had felt severe pain shooting down below her right hip joint into her right lower leg. She stated that it was difficult for her to walk and stand, and it had been getting worse every day. Nerve block injections did not work either. And so she had emergency surgery.
