Hi , hope all is well.
I'm art 32 6'3 400lb currently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus with retinopathy, without long-term current use of insulin, essential hypertension. Currently taking Norco, metformin, januvia, lovastatin,enalapril, ibuprofen 800mg, amitriptyline 25mg, fish oil, muti vitamin and now I bought R-ala
Well let me break it down as best as I can to describe my issue as best as I can .
In December 2018 I had slipped on ice on my stairs and fell on my lower back ( butt bone ) and legs . Of course I got up and shrugged it off as I had things to do and of course I felt pain from the fall, but of course with all things that happen like this it's usually a sore feeling that day and you really feel it the day after and so on .
In January 2019 when my body was able to shake it off and went away at least I thought I did dueto I didn't feel no pain was fine maybe mid month I started having pain in back of left thigh tingling ,numbness , pain where I can't sleep at nite or early morning when I woke up .
Okay made a appointment to see doctor and at the the time I was unsure what was wrong but dueto having that fall recently I assumed it had to do with that and that's what I belived up until now..
doctor put me on a few different meds and got referral for physical therapy where they felt it was a pinched nerve and went to 4 appointments each month for two to three months+ signed up for planet fitness and even tho I felt good and thought something good was coming out of it every day when it's time to go-to bed it was very severe pain in back of my left thigh . And I could not get sleep .
I'ma put it this way I'm the type where it has to be very bad to get me to go to emergency room . But once it got more severe where I could not sit at table/toilet/bus/car/chair for longer then 3 minutes and when walking around the house I would get the urge where my leg was so weak my back felt like it wanted to give out I'd run to bed lay on back left foot standing on bed and right foot on top of it til I could make pain subside .
So I went to the hospital early morning explain this to the doc and he asked what insurance I had and dueto I have state insurance I could not get mri done that day but was givin tremadol take 1 every 4 to 6hours and that it sounded like sciatica.
good thing I finally got one of my primary docter to get me a referral for Ortho . (I don't have a primary doctor at the clinic I go-to)
Ortho took x-ray and asked me if I knew my back was curved, replied no I didn't know and she pretty much said well it is but that's not the problem of your issue ends up telling me I would be good candidate for shot in back (yeah right) ..but I got referral for MRI from her and she switched me from tremadol to Norco 5-325 .
My appointment for MRI is August 13 2019 .
It started as just pain in back thigh these few months leading up to now it's numbness tingling all the way down to foot heal and left toe go numb and like a pulled vein feeling in back of knee.
And the whole time I been doing research and came to realize it's probably not what they think dueto in just a matter of two days taking stabilize R-ala I feel alil bit more relieved .
Narcotics are short term I knew I was going to have to find something to help myself and this is where I'm at so far . Still not strong enough to get myself to go-to gym or therapy as I quit that when the pain got worse . Now I'm trying to get myself out the house out of bed and so far the most I can do in a day is take my dog for a 20 min walk .
