Am I beyond physio?
I’ll try to make my long story short :)
I have an MRI booked for next month to confirm, but the doctor at the hospital wrote on the paper for physio “spinal stenosis/bilateral sciatica “.
Both of my legs have the most intense uncomfortable buzzing that is there 24 hours a day (even wakes me from sleep). It is down the front of my legs.
My lower back always hurts and there is a tender spot.
I cannot make it to a minute of standing or walking without the buzzing firing up and feeling like my legs are going to give out from under me.
I have had to borrow a rollator from a neighbour that allows me to walk a few steps and then sit.
Prior to all of this I was athletic and at the gym 5 days a week.
My first physio appointment was yesterday and after her testing and evaluation, she called me a severe case.
I can’t walk, stand, and I don’t sleep anymore.
I feel like the nerve pain is even worse today after physio.
Should I continue physio or do nothing until after my mri?
