The rehab center overworked me and caused a pinched nerve in my L4. My
leg is disabled and I live with chronic excruciating pain. My leg feels like a
50 pound weight is attached to it and feels like a tight heavy rope is pulling my thigh causing lack of mobility. It is numb and I’ve gotten neuropathy from it too. Every time I sit or lie down I feel like I’m sitting on a pile of rocks. I cannot sleep on my sides.
I can barely lift myself out of my bed. My orthopedist has prescribed muscle relaxers and pain meds like gabapentin, cymbalta and none of them work. If I stand while preparing meals for more than 10 mins, it creates terrible pain in leg and back.
I am crippled in my left leg. I’m afraid of having surgery because there’s a 50% chance it can make me worse. Has anyone experienced pain like this? The only thing that gives me some relief is Excedrin Extra Strength
