After a car crash over a year ago, I have been stuck sitting in a tempurpedic chair. I can't stand or walk very well, and sitting in a normal chair is excuriating. The chair tilts me at a 45 degree angle putting mu feet level with my head. I have seen three docotrs. Bulging disc in l5,l6 but mild.
My feet alternate between burning ,stinging, and ice cold. I always have a sharp stabbing pain in the right glut area. I have wasted away from pain reducing my ability to eat and pain reducing my ability to move. I bought a russian stim unit. My muscles are rebuilding. I can't raise my leg higher than about 30% when flat or it hurts.
Every time I go to a doctor ,I'm nauseated from sitting the chair waiting, and I am not in the mood to be twisted around, although they do it every time. Then I get pain meds. I have cut them back myself, don't want to be hooked on anything. They suggested methodine, but I don't want to try that either,
I do stretches with a yellow band, flex my feet while sitting, and try to get better. Big problem, after a docotr puts me through the the tests to see what I can do, i hurt so bad for six or seven days , I am refusing to go anymore. I don't understand what they don't get. I hurt to just sit, yet alone move.
I have had two MRI's would they have shown nerve root damage? I seem to have all the signs of a syndrome I read about, except I have no urinary or bowel problems, but I have everything else.
