PastryOfApathy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Like a lot. As in I need to like go to a fucking hospital because I can't move my fucking leg. Long story short my nerves are absolutely fucked and my entire leg is currently switching between complete burning agony and horrific, stinging pain. Like, 10/10 levels of pain. Thankfully my arms are okay for now but I just need something to keep my mind off this fucking pain while I wait for my dad to grab some vicodin since that's literally the only thing that's worked. Also the specialist I've been trying to see for over a month, decided to take a nice 2 week vacation you stupid Pakistani fuckstick. GODDAMMIT FUCK!

In the end my mum contacted the mayor of an Australian state and told them she was seeing a lawyer. The government was at fault in our situation. Next day she gets a phone call and free flights to someone who can diagnose her properly. This is the US. They're a private practice and have literally zero obligation to do anything. Not to mention the time it would take for my message to reach any kind of authority (assuming they even read it), would be way longer than if I just waited the 3 fucking months or so. Government ain't gonna help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised, it sounds like what I've been dealing with every day since Oct. Try applying a heating pad to key areas of the nerve and see if there's any improvement.

Jerry Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 7 minutes ago, Clove Darkwave said: Could just be your Sciatic Nerve (Sciatica). This. My dad went through this exact thing. He had a few slipped discs and in his case it turned into intense pain in one of his legs. Compression on the sciatic nerve was the culprit. Fortunately he was able to improve his condition and eliminate the pain altogether. But I could see that the pain was unbearable. Apparently it was constant. Day, night, standing up, laying, didn't matter. At its worst he could barely sleep. If this is what you're dealing with Pastry, I'd recommend you to work on improving the tonus of your lower back. My dad started doing this in his early 50s after multiple lumbagos and a compressed sciatic nerve. It worked wonders, now his leg pain is a thing of the past.

I can find no mention that increasing muscle mass treats pinched nerves ( no idea if it is right ); the treatments described include physiotherapy, pain medication and surgery.

Dude I know more about this than you. Trust me. Exercise is essential. But yeah you can mechanically change the structure of the body through surgery but that's really dangerous, painful, and generally just kicks the can down the road for a few years and then the problems come back.

Saxon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Bones do have nerves in them, but not all tissues in the body have nerves in them, for example the liver does not. Hence you have both demonstrated a limited anatomical knowledge. So neither of you know enough to diagnose the problem, recommend treatment plans or provide prognosis. Even a legitimate doctor, who was not simply bullshitting to the highest degree, would not be able to do that based on the limited information provided by Pastry. So can you guys stop?
