HELP! I'm so frustrated

I'm so frustrated. My hubby went to my doctors to let them know how much pain I'm in. (isn't he a sweet heart) The doctor was not there today. OK The nurse called said the xray's of my spine were clear. I told her it hurts to breath, stand, walk, and use my arms, my hips are burning. My legs from the knee down are numb and my back, the skin feels like someone put plastic wrap on it, you know the numb feeling. My face is numb again my arms are humming and painful. She said I could come in and see the other doctor but quite frankly he will only prescribe a pain med. Then I would have to come in again to see my doctor. I can understand that. The nurse said that I should go to the hospital ER and have them take care of me. She told me at least then you will get all the test done at one time and not have to wait for an appointment. HELP I just want to go to sleep right now and not wake up. I hate this pain. I hate my brain, I hate this feeling.
I'm sorry I'm just frustrated right now. NO I'm not suicidal just angry and voicing how I feel.  
My hubby said when he gets home (soon I hope) we will make a decision on rather to go or not to go. One side of me says GO the other says wait it out but how long is this wait going to be.
On Monday before I went to the dr I lost my legs they just left me. That lasted a little awhile but they came back and know they feel like two cooked spaghetti holding up a meat ball. And the pain in my spine from neck to tailbone hurts and that is an understatement.
Thanks for listening
Elizabeth

Elizabeth...you NEED TO LISTEN TO THE NURSE!! She said that you should go to ER and she said that for a reason honey...SHE IS CONCERNED ABOUT YOU!

She would not insist that you go unless she felt that it was warranted and like her I think it's warranted!  I would call 911 myself...I know that is a hard decision to make cause I have been their but if you decide to go on your own and you are not on the top of the triage list can you imagine how long you will have to sit in a chair...can you really do that??? Doesn't soung that way to me!

Go honey...get the tests done all at once like the nurse said!

Let us know when you get back and how you are doing ok?  We are behind you 100% and don't forget that ok?

Lots of Hugs,

Rena
