Hello Linda, I have a horrible back problem. When I'm not careful and it flares up... I get a buring pain from my hip down to my foot on the left side. I've been told that this is the sciatic nerve. I hate to tell you that if that is what your problem is... there is nothing that can be done about it, and it will take some prescription pain medication to take the edge off the pain that you are feeling.
I know how painful it is, and I sympathize, but you're going to have to get some medical help, and you're going to have to take it easy. With my back the problem can last for months, which is why I so careful. I don't know if this is the case with you, but you're going to have to see a doctor to find out.
I wish you well.

I THOUGHT AT FIRST WHEN I CAME HERE TO CHECK THIS GROUP OUT, THAT THERE WAS ONLY THE ONE PERSON HERE... THE CREATOR OF THE GROUP! DOESN'T ANYONE WRITE HERE? DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO SHARE THEIR STORY? ARE YOU ALL IN TOO MUCH PAIN TO WRITE?

WELL I WANT TO WRITE A LITTLE TODAY... THIS ISN'T THE CHRONIC PAIN THAT I LIVE WITH EVERYDAY BUT IS SURE HURTS LIKE HELL TODAY!!!!!! MY LEFT LEG HURTS VERY BAD FROM THE HIP JOINT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MY FOOT. I CAN BARELY PUT PRESSURE ON IT AND EVEN SITTING, IF I MOVE WRONG THE PAIN SHARPENS. I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING. I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO TODAY AND CAN'T SEEM TO DO IT!!! I TOOK 3 EXTRA STRENGTH FAST REALSE TYLENOL. NO HELP!!! THIS STARTED YESTERDAY AND TODAY IT DOUBLED IN PAIN. I WISH I KNEW HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO LAST!!!!! IF I TAKE ANYTHING STRONGER FOR THE PAIN IT WILL PUT ME TO SLEEP. I AM ALWAYS TIRED ANYWAY. OH LORD HELP ME!!!! I HAVE A BAD HEADACHE FROM THE PAIN. IT EVEN HURTS IN MY NECK AND SHOULDERS. MAYBE IT'S THE RAINY WEATHER WE HAD YESTERDAY AND TODAY. I FEEL LIKE CRYING!!! WELL, I BETTER GO.
