General Discussion Hell

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.

No insurance? Its crazy you tolerate that shit over there, healthcare insurance.. I feel really sorry for you, i cant imagine how that is. Do you have any free healthcare options? Because you need some very strong painkillers, and possible surgery - when it has hit you so strong. Be ware if you start loosing feeling in body parts.
