Debilitating pain from lower back down to FRONT and INSIDE leg.
2 weeks ago I was doing T bar rows.
The next day I was home bending down to pick up a piece of paper and BAM!, I was hit with the most painful feeling in my lower right back.
I went to a chiropracter who took some Xrays and said he couldn't see anything but going by my symptoms, it appears I've 'injured' my sciatic nerve. He gave me an adjustment, showed me some stretches and sent me on my way.
That was a week ago. I went yesterday again and he adjusted me again and showed me more exercises.
Today when I woke up the pain was the absolute worst it's ever been.
It starts in my lower back---not the buttocks---and goes halfway down the FRONT--not the back of my right leg.
I can barely walk.
Any idea whats going on before I go to the emergency room.
I have no health insurance, so my choices are limited.
But im gonna have to bite the bullet and go to the ER on Monday.
Ibuprofin 800 4 times a day and Aleve as well as Doans has done NOTHING for me.
Please help this long time member get thru this.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
