Hi,
After some advice for the most effective pain relief for severe sciatic leg pain.
I can only describe the pain I'm experiencing as like extreme tooth ache x 10 and going from the bottom of my back straight down to my heal. I can barely walk and am up most of the nights in pain. My life is on hold at the mo while I wait for an MRI and then god knows what. I have a 2 year old and am struggling to be her mummie at the moment which is depressing me.
I'm currently taking a strong dose of cocodemol which only just takes the edge of, doesn't get rid of it and I need more. I didn't get on with naproxen or amatrytaline so am wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and found a certain drug worked well for pain relief?
Should be seeing the doc again tomorrow and want to ask for something stronger but I have no idea what.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated especially positive stories to help me remain positive that I'll get through this. Thanks
