I think my sciatic nerve is bothering me 😶
My lower left side of my back was hurting when I woke up which I didn't pay attention to because sometimes I sleep wrong. But then all of a sudden the pain quickly increased until I couldn't tolerate it 😭 I had my gf massage it out really hard, which helped a ton.
Then we were at the store & it started coming back. I was hoping it wouldn't be as bad but it quickly got worse. Next thing I knew, I was in the car trying everything I could to make it stop. I put the AC on ice cold at full blast & I still kept sweating from the pain. I felt like I was gonna puke & I NEVER cry from pain.. but I felt like I wanted to cry. I didn't but I just kept moaning & groaning like "ahhh idk WTF to do"
When we got home I noticed I could feel it more in every step I took with my left leg. I couldn't even walk right, it felt like I couldn't walk in full motion.
My gf ran a hot bath for me, I took 2 muscle relaxers, an anti-inflammatory pill, & a strong ibuprofen. I never take pills for pain but I did this time.
The hot bath helped calm the pain down pretty quickly & thankfully I feel okay rn 🙏 I might've been okay with just 1 muscle relaxer because they were prescription grade & now I feel super floaty... but when I was young I used to pop anywhere from 4 to 13 of them all while still smoking & drinking so I just assumed my tolerance would still be high 🤷
All I know is that even breaking my bones never hurt as bad as this pain did 😶 I've heard about sciatic pain before but never knew it felt like this
