The Pain got to be unbearable

Back in 1994 I was rear ended by two cars who didn’t want to stop at the red light I was stopped at.  There was some painful and numbing damaging done to my left leg and side of my lower back and hip area.  Back then they wanted to simply cut the nerve to remove the pain, but I didn’t see how that would resolve much.  So I said no to the surgery.

I have worked around the pain and went through chiropractic treatment, physical therapy and massage therapy over the years to help.  Some days are worse then others but I carry on and on some occasions when the pain is really bad and it is hard to walk, I would take some aleeve.

That use to help but not anymore.  Ever since I had Kyle it has been gradually getting worse.  Sitting down is painful, standing is painful, walking is painful, laying down is painful.  I think you get the picture.  This past week has been the WORSE and nothing has been helping me.  The other night I was in so much pain that I couldn’t move my leg.  It was horrible.  I decided that I was going to make a doctor check me out and not say, it could get better.

So I went in to see a doctor last night and he could feel the muscle spasms and such going on in my lower back.  He feels I have Sciatica.  The nerve is being crushed in my spine apparently.  I am hoping a disk isn’t too messed up.  Well I have to go to the Spine clinic for treatment.  He gave me Norco and Valium for the pain and muscle spasms. 

I took them last night and I slept and was pain free.  I haven’t taken them again but am starting to feel all the pain again and thinking I better.  I am hoping to be seen at the spine clinic today or tomorrow.  I just am glad someone took me seriously and I am getting help.  I just am praying it gets better and get the best treatment possible.  

Prayers are greatly appreciated.
