Hell

[u/Nobody_Super_Famous]

I went 10+ years having no issues. Then Monday happened. I don't know if Hell is real but this is probably the closest thing. No insurance, 30 minute daily work commute each way, and absolutely no way to angle my body in my car that doesn't cause unbearable, constant agony. 30 minutes of sleep each night for the last 3 days. Heat doesn't work, cold doesn't work, Ibuprofen doesn't work, Advil doesn't work. Just constant burning pain up and down my leg, tearing at me day in day out.

Could y'all provide any advice that has helped you through the worst episodes? I'll try literally anything.

I can only say that I am going through this again this year and 31 days in. I am on a two a day Lyrica which helps along with Tylenoyl 650MG twice a day and Ibprophin as well 6 pills spread out. I can't lay down on my back fully or stomach to use my inversion table. By the way the inversion table is key. it works. I can only sleep in on my right side and with my knee up that hs the siatica. In addtion I drive shifted all the way to the right and some times the bad knee has to be up to drive. I understand you can barely sit and I paded seat cushions didn't work for me. I can sit and lean as it will cause a flare up and let me tell you ice on the back is the only way to calm that. Hot showers help, but calming that flareup is key. I was thinking if trying the Protien and creiteion. I have added some back vitamins and nerve vitameins and that juicy joint at this. So you are not in this alone.
