Hi just one last question if I can please you have been great …is there any test too determine if my bone spurs from pars is causing the tingling and can a Epidural or pars repair help leg symptoms many thanks

Generally, bilateral selective nerve root blocks of the L5 nerve that obtain temporary relief are a good sign that pars repair will help the tingling.

Perfect is caudal epidural helpful too or I will try nerve block or both thanks

Caudal epidural is a shotgun approach to the question of an L5 radiculopathy. That injection covers from l4 to S3 so relief is not diagnostic. The bilateral SNRB of L5 is diagnostic so better gives an idea of what surgery would be like.
