I woke up yesterday morning to find I was totally numb down the left hand side and my skin felt hot and on fire if I touched it. I struggled to walk in a straight line as my left leg was weak and I struggled to control it.
Phoned for an urgent GP appointment and was seen by the nurse practitioner, who didn't examine me, but decided I had a trapped nerve in my back and prescribed anti-inflammatories. To be taken 3 times a day.
I know it's only day 2, but I've taken 6 of the things and am feeling no better at all. Should I stick it out, or go back for a second opinion?
I'm in no pain, but the aching burning sensation is driving me mad, and I feel tired, weak and emotional.
