Lower back pain (right side), standard stretching, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, ice and heat pad aren’t helping much.
When I elevate my lower back using a pillow to relieve the pain; my right leg starts tingling and I get numbness in my legs (sometimes just the right, sometimes both) If I’m walking around I’m okay other than a dull albeit consistent pain. Any bending movement or sitting or laying down and the pain is at its peak. Especially in the morning and evening.
Does this sound like a herniated disc causing hell on my sciatic nerve? I have an appointment set tomorrow for an orthopedic dr.
Ive had back pain for years and I’ve been taking otc pain meds, CBD, chiropractors for years.
Hoping to hear something from someone who has shared some similar symptoms or information from our resident poster @tcudoc
Edit- tingling and numbness occurs more often in my right leg while driving lately.
I herniated a disk in high school which caused sciatica. My symptoms were a lot like yours. Therapy was very helpful, but I still have pain from time to time. Gin or Bourbon helps
