for those who dont know, i hurt my back..Why is it that whenwe get upset with our SO that we usually end up hurting ourselves???? well anyways, I ended up hurting my back. went to the dr opn the 16th and he took xrays they looked good, but the pain is about to get me!!! he gave me meds but i cant take them and dirve or work...... i cant take advil or alieve or even motrin for that matter not while taken the other meds. so here i sit in pain.. almost in tears.. about to call the dr and see what he can give me that wont make me sleepy so i can' t work.. the pain in my back isnt really that bad it is the sharp pains that run down my legs that are killing me.
soo here i am fighting back tears....

Mel have you tried a reputable chiropractor? I have alot of back trouble and I go to an excellent chiro he helps alot. It may take several treatments but its worth a try. Ask around ok? Hope this helps

 aww - Mel, I am sorry you are in so much pain. Please call your doctor - there must be something that you can take that won't make you sleepy. Maybe you can take a day's sick leave and go home and rest?Wish it didn't hurt so much hon!

Bebop I am afraid tha you may be right... he said the xrays looked really good, but when I walk it feels like my back needs to pop. and it feels as if it is slipping a bit. the pain going down my left leg is more than the right one... the top of my foot on the left is a little numb aslo... i know these cant be a good thing, right?

Mel its prolly your Sciatic nerves. Thats alot of my problems too. I also have like the last vertebrae that has a tip that shows is fused to my large hip bone. There isnt anything they can do for this. But the chiro can bring some relief to the area .

mrb don't even think about a chiro! if this is a disk problem you could do serious harm with a chiro!

Ugh. Pain is bad... especially that "brings tears to your eyes" pain.
(Been there, done that.)I'm sorry you're in so much pain, and I hope your doctor is able to help you out.

well i am back.....the doctor looked me over again... he said since the pain is going from my butt to my toes.. it is for sure my nerves in my back, he is afraid that i have a disc out of place and that it is pressing on a nerve. he wants me to do some exercises at home as well as phsyical therapy 3 times a week for the next three weeks.. then come back to see him.. if the PT does not help by then, then we will do a mri and steroid injections....
 i am scared of the mri/ cat scan mahcines..... i hate needles..... so please help me out and have good thoughts that the PT will help me so i dont have to have an mri or any injections......

mel you can request an open mri! I did and it wasn't bad at all. I have had the injections but please see either a nuero or ortho dr. they should be the ones to do injections but don't let them do them til you have the mri. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks bebop. i just get real nervous when it come to shots. the thought of a shot going into my back scares me... but for now i will just breathe. what is the difference of an open mri and a mri?

open mri is just that. it is open all around. the other one is like being in a long tube. *shivers* I had to have my injections with no sedative because I can't take the sedation medication. it isn't too awful bad but if you can take the sedation! you will have to have someone drive you home though. either way!

Tell them you want the open tube. I am claustrophobic and I did just fine in it. It was for my head and I got to wear a really cool Darth Vader mask, except it was white!  I hope you get relief immediately if not sooner, dearheart. Hugs, Jan
