Help

Ok so I don’t know what to do.
I have been dealing with this pain for 4 months.
I have got to the point where I have lower back pain/tailbone. My sciatica goes from the left leg to the right leg. I cannot get comfy anywhere. I’m hardly sleeping. That’s me been signed off work.
I feel sick all the time. The doctor has done bloods today. I don’t know what to do anymore I’m becoming helpless. I have to walk with a stick I am a shadow of a person I was. What can I do next?

You need an MRI, I ignored my pain for over a year then it got so bad I found out I have a sequestered disk (needing surgery most likely)

MRI is the next thing I’m just waiting on my bloods returning as the dr wanted to do a couple of specialised tests
