So it's my day off, I have been having some funny sensations in my back and legs the past couple of days at work and while driving but I do have a bulging disc on the left and stenosis around the nerves on the right at L4/L5 so it's not that unusual. Got up at 6.30, made breakfast, went and got bloods done, while I was at the surgery I noticed that when standing I had prickling sensations in my feet. Got home, made a coffee and sat down but started feeling uncomfortable so went to stand and got that searing pain accross my lower back, sensation of my spine being crushed. So I am sat up in my bed, have just gone downstairs for supplies and meds and it was painful doing everything but going up and down stairs is a nightmare.
I am able to walk but I think that is because I am already on Gabapentin and co codamol 30/500 for my lower back and nerve pain in right arm. I am in the house alone, the tv is still on downstairs because the remote is on the floor, the kitchen in a tip and this is so uncomfortable. I ha to rest because I have to go to work on Monday.....no matter what my boss will be a nightmare if I don't go. I have recently returned to work following a couple of surgeries on my arm and my Bradford is so high already.
Just needed to vent
