I have a doctors appt schedule but can’t get in until Thursday afternoon and I was hoping someone could offer me some pointers. I’ve been having lower back pain since Friday, it’s a dull pain but is making it very hard for me to lift my youngest daughter (I’ve ceased lifting her unless totally necessary i.e. getting in and out of the car and her crib), it is also very hard to get in and out of a chair or the couch as well as if I sit down on the floor.
Friday the pain was the worst with the pain shooting into my leg. I’ve been taking advil and aleve but neither seem to really get rid of the pain. I’m sleeping with a pillow between my legs which makes sleep a little better but I’m still in pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but serious answers only please!
Thanks in advance for any help :0)










try a heating pad,i have this it’s cyatica in my case,degenerative disc disease
i know it’s very painful i had to go to the hospital once,i could’t even sit on the toilet
feel better soon!
you need a better pain reliever from the dr.
You’ve described a psyatic nerve problem.
Heating pads and hot baths, until you can talk to your doctor about alternatives for, perhaps, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy…. which is an amazing advancement, btw.
Hope this helps!

I have found that heat or sometimes ice helps with the pain. Try using therma care heat wrap or something to that effect. I have a pain that shoots down my leg also and have been diagnosed with a herniated disk. Definatly see your doctor, or go to urgent care if you can no longer manage the pain.

Sounds to me like you threw out your back i have the same problems happens to me about 3 times a year try sleeping on the floor with only 1 blanket under you and 1 pillow so that your almost flat i know it sounds weird but it will help also take moltrin instead of advil and aleve put cold packs on the day time and hot backs at night if you have a heating pad it works wonders to sooth the pain also try bio freeze or bengay both seem to do the trick with the leg pain if you just rub it into the muscle streching is also good if you can move around that much stand up straight and then crotch down and hold the position for about 30 seconds if you can good luck hope you feel better soon
