Walked alittle today & went for a ride w/ a friend. Then we walked some but I felt like my lower back started to hurt. Can feel a big knot in it. R leg okay so far. No numbness or tingling but I am really scared as to what to do. I have to go back to work on modified or else take temporary disability. I really don't have any concrete answers as to what the hell is wrong. I have a mild bulging disc in L5-S1 on the L side but my Right leg gets numb,tingly & burns all the way down to my toes. I have been ruled out for m/s. Sometimes my upper extremities feel numb & tingly. I don't have any pinched nerves in the rest of my spine. Should I take the neurontin if the numbness & tingling are getting better? Am I progressing or am I getting worse or have I plataued? Need help & answers but I don't know whered to turn. So sad I want to be out enjoying the day, instead I stuck focusing on this but how can I focus on anything else. God I hate this. I want to be better.
