Default New Injury- Advice on Pain meds

On Sunday I was feeling pretty good and went hiking with my family. After about 15 minutes in, I stepped on a Rock funny and sprained my left calf. It was very painful and started using crutches the next dat. Went to the dr who confirmed that it was just muscle tears and wrapped it and said rest it and it could take 2-4 weeks to heal.

Meanwhile my right hip was starting to hurt because I was favoring the right leg and as I bent down to get some things out of some low drawers,it was painful to get back up. It proceeded to get excruciatingly painful to sit or walk, lay down or basically move at all.Went to an Orhopedist yesterday who x-rayed it but didt show told me that is probably a disc bulge on my sciatic nerve. I am HOPING he is wrong because I cant deal with another permanent disc/nerve problem. I am hoping it just got pinched because I was limping strangely

Thanks for any input
