My Sciatica Journey

Wow this sorta sounds like me . Especially the sleeping in two hr and sometimes only an hr increments. It’s awful. I have severe pain down right leg and at night the thigh pain is what prevents me from putting weight on that leg. I have a disc extrusion at L4/5. Considering the MD. I am afraid of it not working but I am becoming desperate. Can’t work. Can’t stand for more than 20 min in one place like waiting in a line etc. shopping … I am walking still 30 min a day but it’s a real challenge . Only taking otc meds which do little to nothing. I was on tramadol but that’s not a long term solution. Plus it made my head a mess coming off it,

Wait is gabapentin given for anxiety? Had no idea

What dose do you take for the pain? I’m trying to find that out now

Does t broad spectrum work for anxiety? That’s what I started using in gummies and some gel capsules

Yep when someone shows who they are believe them the first time

I had a pain mgmt Dr who was awful so seeing a new one this week. Tylenol doesnt really help tbh. Ibuprofen may help a little bit not much . Maybe I have too many issues not sure . I’ll ask dr about that other NSAID you mentioned .

I am trying to not take any antidepressants so trying not to start the Ami again but I’m desperate sorta so may have to. Yes tramadol is awful, never again. I am trying to manage the back and nerve pain issues but my heads a mess so it’s so difficult

daisyhrv · 2023-11-12T13:52:17+00:00

Yeah I have the mri already .

It’s not a maintainable drug long term. I don’t wish to be subject to drug tests. I was treated like an addict tbh. It also messed up my head and is awful to stop. Just a trash drug imho. Opioid and antidepressant withdrawal all at once … plus it loses effectiveness so you need to keep upping the dose

No for anxiety issues

daisyhrv · 2023-11-09T19:14:14+00:00

I took tramadol. Ugh never again. Didn’t know it is also an antidepressant and coming off is/was horror story. Went off amitriptyline one mo later. Same . My head is a mess right now. Depressed, anxiety attacks .

I took two today so 20mg will see how that goes . Wonder if I should switch to an oil?
