roller session

lost the desire to finish out the hour :(

I read up some on the lumbar nerves. According to what I read, the L5 nerve innervates the foot area; the hip is innervated from L2/L3. So now I'm confused by my doctor's diagnosis. I suspect the treatment would be the same, so it probably doesn't matter, but it bothers me to find this conflicting info! annoyed!

OK, found another article that says that the hip abductors ARE innervated by L4 and L5, so I guess the diagnosis does make sense.
