Worst lower back flareups I’ve ever felt. Don’t know what to do
The past month I’ve been having on and off flareups in the middle of the night that are really bad I wake up with sharp stabbing things to the point that they make me yell from pain. Last night I had one of my worst ones and I was not able to move for a walk and usually the sharp stabbing pain will last for about 30 seconds to two minutes on my lower back and hips but then go away but last night it lasted for about two hours and I couldn’t figure out how to lay or stand and it was the worst thing I have ever felt.
I am currently waiting for my insurance to approve Humira but I don’t know what to do for now because even when they approve it I saw it takes about three months or more to start helping out. Is there anything I can do for now to help with this pain? Has anybody gotten any shots in their back or anything like that? I cannot bear this and I am scared to go to sleep.
