I’m sort of in the same boat. Been having one sided lower back pain and leg pain for about 7 years. Finally had an MRI end of 2014 which showed a neuroma on a nerve near spine. First of all it was classed as incidental and not responsible for my pain then this was changed to that it was probably causing the pain. I have no traditional nerve pain, loss of reflex, strength, muscle tone nothing. I can hike and run and have no mobility problems...the only symptom is pain. I have a back scan every year now and the neuroma hasn’t changed at all in this period. By all accounts it’s probably been there all my life apparently so why it would suddenly become problematic when I turned 40 makes no sense. Half the consultants I see say it’s causing my pain and half say it isn’t and it’s best left alone. Ho hum.
