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?

it’s killing me right now. i’ve lived with it for about two years…i believe that i "got it" if you will, when i had an epidural for my second child. or maybe it was when i was pregnant and waiting tables…whatever the case, i’m hurtin’. (
pain medicine sometimes helps, but what else can i do to relieve my pain. and can i get rid of this? thanks for your help.
right now, it hurts when i take a step with my right leg.–stop walking, no, i can’t. and sometimes it just hurts if i move wrong. it’s in both sides of my lower back. what’s a girl to do? thanks again.
without money to afford to see a chiropractor and proper insurance i cannot go. that was the obvious answer i knew i was going to get…so, now that that is out of the way.

I know that I should cut down my caloric intake, especially since I have been less active lately because of the pain. Also, I work 2 jobs, one is in an office during the day that the other is waiting tables at night time. I find the serving job to be stressful for my back, but I do move around a lot. What can be done in addition to this? Also, I eat pretty healthy already. No fast food (EVER!!!), no fried stuff, lots of veggies and fruit. I just want to know what I can do in addition to these things, yet not hurt my back and leg.
