Really struggling I may go to a,&e
On going sciatica since December,nothing is working I cannot sit I cannot sleep I struggle to drive.The GP has signed me off for a month at work,I am 39 I have a four year old and I am a nurse and normally very active.I had nerve injections 8 days ago which were so painful and the first few days I felt less pain but since then the pain and radicular pain has ramped up and I am in agony from around 3am until the evening and I end up getting out of bed pacing around the house.I am on four painkillers naproxen, co-codamol, high dose amitriptyline and now I have been started on pregabalin.imI cannot understand why I am not getting better and why my pain is getting worst.My physio thinks the big disc bulge I have which is compressing the nerve roots will heal over time by itself but I think we are past all the conservative management and I think I need surgery.I am in so much pain this morning I think I might have to go to a&e.Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I cannot imagine how I will have to wait up to 18 weeks for an operation 😭
