hi tabby, sorry you woke up with pain...the thing about chronic pain is it never goes away, its always there even with pain meds, the best you can do is try to get as comfortable as possible

try ice on your back and elevate your legs or lay on your side with pillows between your legs, i hope the dr can help you on monday i hope your pain eases up so that you can enjoy your day (((hugs)))

Hello Tabby!

I am sorry for your pain and struggle :(

Do you know what is causing your back and leg pain? I am wondering if the burning in your legs means your sciatic nerve is irritated?

Best of luck!

Cheers!

Hi Tabby. I'm sorry you woke with this new problem, never ending isn't it. When my lower back and leg are aching I find lying down with the electric blanket on is the only thing that helps. I hope this is nothing major and soon passes.

Take care and let us know what the doc said.

I feel your pain!!! LOL!! Sorry, I was just thinking how much we all say that to one another!!


I hope you feel better, know you are NOT alone. Try icing the areas, several times a day.

Sometimes ICY HOT soothes the pain, doesn't get rid of it for me, but all we can do sometimes, is try to alleviate some of our miserable pain! I also sleep with a pillow between my legs..they say it takes the pressure off the back a bit for sleeping.

Hugs,

Boo

Sorry to hear of your new pain looks like the suggestions I would have are already mentioned except perhaps heat?

Hi Tabby, I'm sorry you woke with the back and leg pain. I understand all to well how much that hurts. Everyone above has already given you the advice I would have. The only thing I wanted to mention is you were in the hospital for quite awhile and now that your home your probably using muscles that haven't really been used in awhile. Like going up the stairs this causes me great pain as well. Try taking them one at a time by that I mean step up and get both feet on the stair before going up to the next one and use the handrail and kind of pull yourself along. It also helps sometimes going up sideways that way you are able to use both hands. I hope your Dr is able to help you. Please keep us posted as to how you are doing.

Hugs & God Bless
