I have had back n leg pain since 2006. I have a ruptured disc that pinches my sciactic nerve. The only thing that helps the pain ehen inflammed is either tramadol n ibuprofen or cortisone injections. The injections help shrink the disc and help me walk again. Chiropractors help alot in between getting the cortisone n using pain meds. If u go to chiro have them use a tens machine with a heating pad. The analgesic cream they use to rub the pain area is great. Also I have heard inversion tables work really well. Haven't tried yet. Oh by the way i'm not pregnant nor was I when this started. I will have severe nerve damage for the rest of my life. No corrections out there. Just relief. Good luck to everyone.
I have the same thing you describe, and liken it to the feeling youi would get if you touch a third degree burn, such as after a hot iron has been on your skin. Mine is also in the upper thigh area, at the front and side. I suggest looking into this thing I only just heard of called Mind Body Syndrom. A Doctor Schibinger, or some such wrote a book on it, and does assessments. There are also stories of others who have experienced similar things and been cured. I will be following up on it as well.
I have tripped over a box and my leg hurts bad. I do not think it's broken no signs of it, it is tender, and I can't put pressure on it. What to do?
