Praying/

@BigPapaRedneck: thank u hun it means a lot :)

Sounds like sciatica but good luck hopefully everything is ok

They said its just back pain to call the doctor in the morning stupid er doctors my doctor wanted an xray n they wouldnt do it oh well going home grrrr

@Singlemom2011: I'm not surprised. No xrays. They want to an assembly line. Get in & get out. They get " kick backs" for not doing tests, every December, like a Christmas bonus, from Insurance.
Best bet it to get your doctor to write scripts for testing.
My pain was very similar to yours & it was kidneys. And yea.... I heard all kinds of therories , & never actually SEEN a doctor in the ER.. Smfh.
You are in my thoughts & prayers. Take care of you. Don't take "no'' & " Idk" & "I think", as an answer. Put yourself first, they're not.

@Zilya777: oh trust me my doctor IS going to do something i cant stand this pain its so hard to do anything he has to order one n ill get it done asap n if it doesnt show anything hes gonna have to keep searching cus this pain is horrible i cant play w my daughter i cant sit at work or at home it hurts to stand or to lay down i mean i cant do anything n meds dont help so idk whats going on but hes gotta fix it since er wont

@Singlemom2011: If I were you. I would call for an ambulance & go to another hospital. This sounds so simular to what I went thru. I could not sit or lie down, & my the the time the ambulance came,I was frozen in postiton holding on to the back if a chair.
You really need a shot for the pain in a IV.. Imo. Then they can ck your back & kidneys.

@Singlemom i guess all u need could just be an exercise to burn off all the fats blocking some viens carryin blood around ur body.frm ur complain i feel ure ok. take 2 dosage of tetracyclin b4 going to bed for just 2days, exercise ur body parts ull be up again.aint no need for ambulance or any doctor

Yes, this, or its back spasms. I get em ocassionally. Cant bend down....shooting pain in one or both legs. I get relief by rest, alternating between hot and cold packs, and taking otc nsaids. And after a day or two, I do several types of stretches. Theyre pretty easy to find online. I also will lay on a baseball thats over the affected area and roll around on it......but the stretches really help more than anything
