Sciatic nerve pain - can’t walk!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Have herniate disc at L5 and went thru all pain mgmt possible. Not sure what aggravated it but have been bed ridden for four days now! Right leg from butt to thigh to calf to foot feels like charlie horse....taking tramadol with tylenol arthritis, using heat pad and no relief. Thinking of going to ER to get morphine bc literally crying with this pain. Using walker but can barely stand let alone walk! Does this ever end?!
