Mri Shows Bulging L4 Disk Pinching Nerve

Updated

I've had steroid inj's. with good results till now. Usually with bed rest I'm better in a few day but with this disk the pain had been so intense and the numbness on my foot is getting worse. Usually Aleve helps but now even the Tylenol 4 doesn't help and spasms on my leg have gotten worse. I don't want more surgery, 6 is enough. What else besides inj's. will help so that I can function again and continue taking care of my great grandson?

There are quite a few other medication options, such as Morphine, Oxycontin, Norco, Opana, and Dialudid. Have you tried any of these, yet?

The FDA warns that they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I've gone to the doctor's and Tylenol 4 is what they have given me but it doesn't help and gets worse when I get up to walk. The pain is around my buttock area and I have shooting pain down my leg and my toes and the side of my right foot are now more numb and feels like I'm dragging a child with my leg. I'm suppose to get an injection but it's not till the 1st of March and it's been three weeks since the MRI. I've been in bed for a month now and still it gets more intense to get up and walk. As long as I'm laying down I can handle the pain so the only time I get up is to use the bathroom.
