Hi, I ve been having back pain with difficulty in moving my right leg since 26 December, went to urgent care, had three shots and a round of steroids, went back to my gp because pain wasn t going away and i could barely lift my leg to even put on a sock. Another steroid shot and antiinflamatories. . Can t get in to see my ortho until the 20th. Hate living like this, have had back pain for years but this seems different and abdomen is protruding oddly. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi, If you have so much serious lower back pain then get an X-ray and MRI scan done to know the exact cause of your problem. If there is tingling and numbness in your legs, and it definitely means there is a compression in your nerves at your back by displaced disc. You might need surgical intervention, so please get your MRI done as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
