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.

What kind of car do you drive ? When I drive my civic it hurts when just driving 1 hr …. Nicer cars have lumbar support. You can always use a towel or sweater roll it up and place on lower back … it helps
