I can't respond to that because your back issue is likely different than what I had and of course, I haven't seen the scans or xrays or anything. Those scans used to freak me out...ugghhh. I swear I didn't think I had any fears until they put me in one of those things for a half hour.
It sounds like you are experiencing the same sciatic nerve issue I had, but that can be caused by the compression on the nerve in any level of your spine such as the 5th lumbar as you stated. And it's the precise location that matters the most in your healing.
