Severe back pain nothing helping

[user1497873278]

Please I’m desperate can’t get doc appointment for another 2 days the pain is worse than labour I’ve had 4kids with no pain relief I’m in agony every position spasms that last an hour pain in groin down legs help any advice really appreciated

What pain relief have you taken?
Spontaneous onset or history of recent trauma/fall?

Could you ask for an emergency telephone appt with your GP with a view for a possible script for diazepam to ease the spasms?

Could be sciatica which is bloody awful. Could you lie on your front with a hot water bottle on your bum/lower back area? You might be able to be seen faster at urgent care but you would probably have to sit in the waiting room for an hour or two which wouldn’t be much fun if you’re in serious pain. Phoning 111 they can maybe get you a specific appointment time though.
If it gets unbearable then I would go to a&e in case you have something like a slipped disc. They could hopefully dose you up with morphine

Thank you for reply’s have to be careful what I take as have stomach issues but am taking max ibuprofen and paracetamol put hot water bottle on all day yesterday but in such a blur with pain worried it’s made it worse fell down stairs beginning of September was not able to move for 2weeks but the pain was in my side where I landed kidney area this is low back I’m crying in pain have little one to look after and husband has own business can’t be here to help as it’s only him and people relying on him have no one else I can call to help should it be this bad can’t get to a&e

You do have someone to help - your husband. I appreciate he has a business to run but he also has a wife who clearly needs him.
Ask him to get some OTC codeine based pain relief.
Have you called the GP for an emergency appt?

Any urinary symptoms?
Strange or loss of sensation?

When you see GP on thur push to get them to book you in for an emergency scan of your back soon

Thank you husband is calling in to doctors for me I know that’s what he has just said but I know people will complain if he’s not there it’s hard when you have no other family that’s the tuff bit thank you have told him to ask for what you said

Urine seems normal pain in hips more on one side then comes around to groin and down leg and foot

Apply voltarol gel then take paracodol orally.
Don't bother with oral ibuprofen if you have stomach troubles already.
Warm compress/wheat bag/bath and google some gentle stretches in case it's a trapped nerve: nothing strenuous in case it isn't a trapped nerve.

Back/ hip pain? Google exercise for SI joint. For right side Lie on your back with left foot flat On wall. With knee bent. Put right leg up so ankle is pressing on left knee. This gently stretches out the si joint. Do opposite side. Try a few minutes at a time and see if it helps. Do not strain.

Thanks but I can barely lift feet up high enough to take a step so can’t manage anything like that at all thanks for suggestions though wish I could hopefully He will come back with something that will help really appreciate all suggestions

Doctors were no help pharmacist given cocodamol just need a break from the pain

Voltarol gel. You can take cocodamol as well.

It sounds to me like sciatica. I’ve had it and it’s an awful pain. I paid for private physio in the end as docs were no help. Best thick I ever did. I was so much more comfortable even after just one session.

I would pay and see a physiotherapist. You'll be seen quickly, and examined and they may be able to spot what it is. It'll cost you £60 give or take and could help you feel better and more able to move around

In the meantime - sleep with a pillow or special block, between your knees. This stops you flipping one leg right over the other which twists your pelvis. Alternate hot water bottles and ice. Hot bath with Epsom salts. Painkillers. Heat pads.

Try some epsom salt in a warm bath, childs yoga pose to stretch out and try to keep mobile. Make sure you Standing as straight as you can and aren’t walking stooped over. If you want I can pm you a screenshot of the physio plan my surgeon gave me after lumbar surgery?
