Two years ago I damaged my lower back lifting a heavy item, I have never had a day since where I am not in pain, the pain is around the inward curve of my spine and is dull, when straightning up it gets much worse, my right leg down to the knee was also really painful at times.around once or twice a day.
About 9 months it became a lot worse and I find it difficult placing pressure on my right foot when walking, the pain is very sharp and comes from my right hip, along with sharp pains in right leg again only down to the knee.
I am in a lot of pain most of the time now, walking – standing bending you name it and most movements are very sore, dont even mention the stairs – I have an upstairs toilet
GP gave me voltarol & amytryptline – had physio (no use)
I am really at my wits end with it and getting down, even when I lie on the couch and relax at night it’s sore, same with bed.
Can I force my local health authority to get me an MRI to see what is going on and get it fixed.
