Not nice. Hang in there - it must pass
Commiseration and empathy brother. I canceled the same surgery once I learned that it wouldn't stop my back pain and had a 15% complication rate, besides limiting me to 25 lbs lifting capacity for the rest of my life.
They put Grayfox on gabapentin for her sciatic pains, and it worked.
What SG said.I have a dilemma I'm supposed to go for a colonoscopy Monday. Thing is my phone was shut off and I didn't know it. I was waiting for a call Friday to set up a time and didn't receive one. Called the hospital and the Gastroenterology office was closed. My question is did I get put on the list for Monday morning or not. I don't know if I should take the medicine I need to take or not. If I take the medicine than find out that I'm not scheduled for Monday that would be a waste of time. Then I would have to take the medicine all over again for rescheduling.
Thing is I don't know if they scheduled me without getting in contact with me for a time to arrive to the hospital. What does anyone think?
bE CAREFUL
Sounds to me that you are experiencing Drop Foot on top of sciatic nerve pain down leg from mid hip azz area to ankle. I have it too. You may have to get healed to a point to start Physical therapy.
To get most of the pain under control. Mine never goes away just dont feel it as much,
How is the pain when you lay down at night to sleep.
My falres up numb and burning left lower leg
Thats sucks. I would try and go anyway, but what do I know. I am so sick and tired of how they schedule procedures.I have a dilemma I'm supposed to go for a colonoscopy Monday.

The only real time it is bearable is if I lay on my sides in bed.
It is on it's way. I am hoping it works!!!!!

Your body is telling you what it needs. Listen to it. Stay in bed. When mine gets bad, which is often, I spend the day in bed. When the pain level gets to 8, only a few beers on an empty stomach and a time release oxy chewed up instead of swallowed kills the pain enough to be bearable. There's a thin line between being out of pain and opioid overdose/death. I'd never eat two.
You've already shown more balls that I've got. I've been dealing with a screwed up back for 25 years or better, and I still don't have the guts to let 'em take a knife to me.

I put a green crack and a wedding cake auto in the earthbox.

Called the hospital again and they told me I would have to call the Gastroenterology department in the morning couldn't give me any advice about starting the medication. Still haven't heard from the Doctor. I'm just going to reschedule since I didn't get a time or a O:K to go to the hospital in the morning. Thank you guys and gals.

I found putting a icepack on and making it all Siberia cold helped me a little.
