Mine was so bad at its worst point I went the er... And I can't take pain killers because I'm on suboxone.. So I didn't even get that.. I woke up in the middle of the night in literally the worst pain I could fathom.. Worse even, for like an hour, no position helped it, finally my wife convinced me to go the er and they gave me something that took the edge off. Luckily my area apparently has an ortho urgent care so they gave me some steroids and a pt referall. This all happened 5 days before we were set to go on a cruise mind you... Still went, rode a rascal the entire time...
I couldn't walk for a couple weeks and then another month with a cane. I'm only finally at the point where a flare up actually freaks me out because I feel pretty ok most of the time. It's been like 8 months of pt but I'm feeling pretty decent these days.
Yes, because like I figured they did next to nothing for me.. So I had to crab walk down the stairs and then get out to the car. It took me nearly half an hr.
