sudden and severe return of leg pain from herniated disc. what can i do?
about 2.5 years ago i began experiencing leg pain and was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs. i was put on lite duty for 18 mos (i wait tables, had to hostess)
after countless docs pills chiros and breakdowns, i felt better about a year ago and retrned to waiting tables. my mri showed that the hernaition had beome a sligt bulge.
i was movin a few wks ago and felt like i may have reinjured the disc, had some low back pain and a little leg pain.
over the past few days the pain has become almost intolerable. im miserable at work, when standing, sittin… its keeping me up at nite
the pain i have now is worse than its ever been and its constant no matter what i do. i recently started a new job and dont have health ins. and even if i did, i know theyd tell me to get off my feet for atleast a few weeks and thats just not an option
i have a few back strengtening exercises i do, but what else can i do for myself?

Are you still seeing the chiropractor? If not, you should call him/her back and continue to be treatment.
Until then, have you tried advil, tylenol, or using a heating pad on your muscles when you get home from work?
Feed your body with nutrition like calcium magnesium and potassium (chelate) . Your pain level has more than likely caused these to plumment. I would also go to a yoga master so they can help you with what stretching you need. I had the same problem and I went to a barron baptise weekend and even my bulging disk was gone. I couldnt believe how it changed my life. I will never go back to chiros and drs for back pain.
