Close Back Pain
Herniated disk at L5-S1, could not stand straight for about 3 weeks, painful to stand, excruciating to walk. It's been 9 weeks now...and my progress seems to have come to a halt. I still cannot stand or walk for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time, and it hurts very much the whole time I'm walking or standing. Occasionally, in the mornings after stretching I have only mild pain for one or two hours, unless I try to walk! I herniated disk during the c-section delivery of my third little girl.
Treatments
- Bedrest Working / Worked
- temporarily relieves pain until i stand up. sometimes it aches while i'm in bed, but never terrible stabbing pains like when i'm standing.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- did nothing, i think i went in too soon, when it was too acute
- Epidural Injection Considering
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- relaxed me but does not help pain, makes me feel better while i'm in the bath though!
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- ibuprofen 600 mg, temporarily removes some pain, but not when standing or walking.
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- Don't think I'm getting good instructions. She only gave me one exercise, pelvic tilts.
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- Floor stretches feel good, but doesn't relieve pain as soon as I stand up pain returns.
- Prednisone Not Working
- Only worked for the time I was taking it. Afterwards slowly got worse until I was pretty much back to where I had started from I think.
- Neurontin Considering
Close Sciatica
Hi, I have sciatica from a herniated disk at L5-S1. Like to learn something about pain control and whether or not this will ever heal!
Treatments
