Hello, I've not been on the health boards before so hope I'm in the right place!
I'm in absolute agony with my back and wondered if anybody could offer and advice?
I have a bulging disc in my lower spine but am awaiting another MRI scan as that's from two years ago. I also have arthritis in my hip which tends to flame up at the same time as my back.
For the past few days, my lower back has been dreadful to the point that I cannot lie down because it hurts so much.
Right now, my lower spine is constantly throbbing/pulsating. It feels like it has a heartbeat!
Has anybody experienced this before and do you have any advice for pain management? I've taken Naproxen but run out of Tramadol and have applied deep heat as well as using a hot water bottle.
