I have had for the last 4 months a lower lumbar problem. My lower back muscles throb with pain when I try to walk. The worse part is sitting down and then getting up to walk. The pain level is 10, not 9. I now have a cane to try and walk. I fell on a concrete step edge. No cracks or torn muscles I'm told with x-ray. I do not understand why this pain won't go away? I have taken Naproxen 500mg (1250mg at a time), aspirin you name it. All of which is OTC except the Naproxen. Helps a bit but never, ever goes away. I have also tried deep massage therapy, chiropractor and acupuncture...you name it.
THE HARDEST IS TRYING TO GO TO WORK IN SO MUCH PAIN AND TRYING TO FAKE IT TO EVERYONE? DOES NOT WORK....I AM CRYING IN PAIN. ALL I CAN DO IS COME TO THIS FORUM AND WRITE ABOUT IT. I JUST NEED SOME RELIEF, JUST FOR A MOMENT. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE IT WORSE THAN ME AND I AM SO SORRY FOR THEM, I CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE HOW THEY DO IT?
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER IDEA OF WHAT I COULD TAKE TO HELP WITH SOME OF THIS PAIN?
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE IN PAIN!
