new episodes 19F
so I’ve never experienced any distinct back pain which i’m hella grateful. I’ve had bad posture and at times it’s given me reasonable discomfort but for the past three weeks I’ve had major back pain - as in this is probably the worst pain i have ever experienced. It’s radiating and sometimes starts from just standing for long (shooting pain from my legs). Once it starts it usually lasts a day but has gotten progressively longer. I usually take a lot of medication (double or triple my dose tylenol and ibuprofen) and then I’m basically bed ridden. I’m in college and this is becoming a problem because I have things to do but I physically cannot move. I can barely bend down during an episode and even the medication barely works. I thought this might be caused by being a new driver? However I’ve taken classes for a whole month prior ( 2hours per class) and never had any issues - But I did take these classes in a different car I drive now. I’m worried because I do have other chronic health issues so I’m trying to gauge if this is just a bad muscle spasm or if I should be concerned. I also think momentarily my feet went numb but not sure
