My left leg gets worse everyday and im running on no sleep. My newest started yestrday. My left leg is numb from knee down. I dont see the doc again until august 28. Im beside myself because im going to do my best but my job is much more physical and fast paced than what i can do right now. I get in and out of my fuel truck about 100 times a night plus pull about 100 pounds of hose about 100 feet from truck to truck and piece of equipment to piece of equipment fueling them

that's heavy work and could be why your back is showing some signs of wear! be careful how you treat it, you only get one spine and when they go wrong it can be very disabling and life changing, and from my experience no one seems to be able to do a very good job of fixing them. I ignored my pain for too long and now i am in a mess.
Do you only have access to one doctor, I would be looking for a second opinion and some answers to why you have the pain and symptoms you have.
