I am currently laying face down on the couch, because it's the only thing I can do and not he in excruciating pain.
I've had back pain for years but in the last month it changed completely. I have a very bad L4/5 herniation.
I always swore I would never do any surgery on my back, but I am praying to get on the surgery schedule for next week

Before this I literally hadn't been to a doctor or taken medicine for probably 15 years. Yesterday, I took 2 separate steroids, meloxicam, torodol shot, gabapentin, and even a percocet at night and nothing helped the pain.
I am a podiatrist, and get ALOT of referrals for patients with foot pain/numbness/weakness and the vast majority of the time it's lumbar radiculopathy. I always said if I started getting numbness and weakness that would be the sign I have to do something. Now in the last 1-2 I have gone from pins and needles to outright numbness in my foot, and it is also profoundly weak.
It sucks a lot, especially because I'm only 37 and know the long term prognosis for back will likely be a fusion at some point
