Help guys , I need some internet therapy

[townfanjon]

Hot n cold buddy... a cold pack to reduce swelling and inflamation then HW bottle or hot soak to relax muscles, encourage blood flow and reduce pain. Failing that I have some left over hospital codeine I could send you but you can't really work on it. Seriously if you want a box PM me or you should be able to get Co-codamal over the counter for acute back pain.

Cheers for the offer pal , I am on the hot and cold treatment, mega strong pain killers , nothing touches it . I never thought you could get pain like this. Going to be a Rubbish week , just hope I may be back next .

 

[townfanjon]

What you need Town is a willing blonde to take your mind off of the pain - male, female or indeterminate gender I don't suppose you'll mind too much...

Know **** back pain only too well bud. Chuffin boring, but you'll heal far quicker when Kyle is on telly - the inbreds will drive you back to work

The willing blonde would most definitely female lol , I couldn’t perform if Kylie was stood in front of me of me . As for daytime TV , jeezzz , I have just made my mind up I dont want to ever retire . I would be happy to get out of the house for an hour.

Mate, you have my utmost sympathies. Sciatica is my trouble but it is rarely acute like you are suffering, usually dull pain, weakness, numbness in both flippin legs with the occasional electric shock type thing going up my back. I look like a complete nutter sometimes, just standing about chatting or moving about the workshop and to any observers it looks like I got jabbed by a ghost with a cattle prod.

I find stretching exercises, laying on my back helps, bringing knees up to chest can relieve it a bit but it sounds like you've been disabled to the point such an exercise might not be possible?

If you do try any stretching exercises please look up the proper techniques before attempting. I feel genuinely sorry for you mate.

I am fond of the phrase "I am human therefore I ache" but it sounds like you've gone well beyond that.

I hope you find relief and get well soon.

Brilliant analogy pal , catle prod with 10,000 volts going through it , thats the one .
I am a well hard Yorkshire lad , but when it happens, I have to cling on to anything and cry with pain , my leg buckles and just about drop to the floor . I have had a big shock believe me .
It wont kill me though , as Arnie says
“ I will be back “

Have you had a proper diagnosis from a someone with actual medical qualifications? (Doctors have their own version of GSR)

If it's sciatica and you make enough fuss there is a treatment called something like 'nerve root block injection'. An anaethetist puts a shot of steroids and long acting pain-killer into just the right part of the spine. The idea is it works for a few months while the underlying problem fixes itself. My father had it done and it was a miracle cure. Went in at 0700 in agony not able to walk without help. Out at 1400 hrs pain free and trotting along as though it had never been a problem. A couple of minor twinges a few months later but paracetamol for a couple of weeks and it was gone.

Now, it's not an entirely risk-free treatment for obvious reasons, but you may find that just knowing it's an option if things get too bad helps you through a nasty condition.

To be honest Chuck at the minute I would struggle getting to the docs unless I laid down in the back of the van lol .
Thank you for that , my god I hope it doesnt come to that, I am just going to have to be patient but will definitely remember it .

I wouldn’t want any medical intervention if possible.
Except for a proper Physio to ease your back and muscles, I would go with the stretching exercises as Stigster said.
Had sciatica myself on off for years, but took advice on back exercises and that sorts it.

Cocaine and a pint of Jack Daniels for a trapped nerve? That's proper old-school medicine.

Aren’t they all medicinal?
