Unfortunately, I have been "home bound" since last Tue with the pinched nerve in my right leg. Dealing with the medical industry is extremely frustrating. Had an MRI yesterday, and another appt with the Othrtho on Fri Morning. They still don't know what is wrong, but just tell me not to do anything or lift anything … it is driving me batty! It seems getting better is like watching grass grow.
Peak of pain was Friday night, if the house was higher than 2 stories I may have gone out a window. Pain would not subside no matter what I did, and was so intense I was shaking like a leaf. It has not been as bad since then, and I recently stopped taking the Advil cause it just seemed like a placebo.
I can walk, but not w/o knowing something isn't right, and I can't even twist a wrench on a saw w/o pain.
They better figure this out and do something about it, I'm getting pissed. Don't even know if I should move or not move, etc. Frustrating! They give no advice!
The Ortho Doc on Monday said "don't lift anything heavy". I looked at him and said I did not need to come here to know that!
