I have a slipped disc in my lower back and as it sits right now I can
NOT move what so ever. Does anybody have any suggestions for some
relief? Pain is shooting really badly down my legs. I am in tears.

"I can NOT move what so ever"

Then how did you type that?

I can move my hands. My hands have NOTHING to do with my back.

I had to take arthrotec for mine...Muscle
relaxer/anti-inflammatory...Mine sat on my phsyotic nerve and I had the
same pain in my leg plus swelling...also had to attend physio for a
month and was not suppose to move around for a month!!!!!!

Thank you Native. And I am sorry if this is a strange question for the
rest of you.

ice pack and 800 mg ibuprofen is what they have me doing...PT always did
massage and TENS machine, too...

whisp..i'm afraid i can't tell you anything to be of help, but i hope
you get to feeling better real soon

I have two degenerated disks in my lower back and have had two very
severe spinal spasms, too, in the past. Not sure if what's wrong with
you can be alleviated by the same thing I do, but..for me, hot bath
(relaxes tension in my muscles), exercise ...to the point I can stand
it..if the pain is too much, then I quit. Umm..ibuprofen, heating pad.
Sometimes I'm "okay," other times it's all I can do to walk. I try to
get as much exercise as I can because as bad as it "seems," that's
really good for you..strengthens your muscles.

sage where are ya

Nothing strange about your question whisper, back problems is no
laughing matter. My youngest brother is suffering the same as you.

Don't be afraid to call an ambulance if you think you need to go to the
hospital... Plenty of drugs, but not very many good ones are over the
counter...

pain killers,,, and it sounds like a pinched nerve and they have pills
specificly for pinched nerves lyrica i think it's called short of that
a hot bath massage and ice pack will help and yes ibuprofen would be of
some use now a good bottle of booze is the old fashioned pain killer lol
but don't do both pills and drink o k??? get well soon whisper
!!!!

Thank you all for your help I am going to call an ambulance
(((((HUGS))))))))

Whisper, let us know how you make out......We luv you.

A cortzone injection can help short term, but you should really seek
medical attention ASAP.
Suffered the same thing last year. Ended up having an
operation.

Whisper, I am so sorry, glad you are calling the ambulance if it is that
bad. You need more than just pills. May need some hospital time and
prescription strength antiinflammatory meds to get the swelling down.
Hope you are better soon. May need surgery eventually. Take care girl.

A fifth of your favorite hard alcohol, a fat weed sack, and a pillow and
blanket. Usually works for me. Oh, and Tylenol PM's.

Hope you get better soon, Whisper...

Let us know as soon as you're able to. Take care whisper
