Sciatica Relapse... MMMMEEEEEYYYYYYOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
I Have had a sciatic relapse 'IN SPADES' - if you are familiar with card games. MY cheeks, hips, and legs were off the charts in pain. At some point I tool a motrin, but I don't think it did anything. I could hardly sit up, let alone stand. Somehow it seems ALL I could do was urinate. MANY TIMES. I thought WTH!!!!
.
Went on for TWO DAYS. Could not get up. Neither ate nor drank anything. Couldn't make it to the kitchen!
.
It is mostly subsided by now, but still a little residual pain. The legs, and toosh are still quite sore. At this moment I am on a upholstered [added recliner facing the sun, with a heat pad AND round - tubular - pillow at my lumbar.
.
I am walking unaided but only 10 - 20 feet ere I need to at LEAST STOP, if not stop AND sit.
.
I don't recall doing anything that would have stressed my lumbar. I don't know that I even FEEL much discomfort there AT ALL but my toosh, hips and legs are still a good solid '6'. Down from an 8, when they were barely tolerable, and totally debilitating, except for what I can do on the CatBook or fone.
.
Sent a note to my PT, but she had gone for the day/weekend. I cc's it to one of the front desk ladies and asked that she be sure that MY pt read it ASAP on Monday. If it means $85 for a session the going price sans insurance), it MAY be necessary.
