I have a large prolapsed disc L5/S1 and have tried various remedies and methods of pain relief. The problem I have is more to do with the achey legs. If I just had the leg and back pain maybe I could cope. But it's the almost constant achey legs I have trouble with.
It's there all the time but if I have walked a lot (I only work 5 hours a day) - even wandering around shops is tiresome because I have to prioritise where I want to go - then I have this MANIC ache in my legs that seems to come from the bone. It makes me want to collapse and really makes me feel sick. If I'm really 'lucky' I get stabbing, razor-like pains too.
It keeps me awake at night and then I'm so tired the next day I ache even more!
Does anyone else have this?
