Recently I have undertaken a few epics! where carrying the bike (Hey im in the Lakes)and a change in my job has aggrevated a back injury 😥
I have a long history of lower back pain,Last weekend I had a severe attack of Sciatica down both legs,Couldent go to the toilet,walk or stand up! I called out a medic on the Sunday evening and he has given me some Pain killers (Codeine Phosphate 30mgs) and the wonderfull (Diazepam 5mgs)….still flying!! 😀
After seeing my doctor on Tuesday evening he advised me the Sciatica should subside after a few days, however the pain is persisting in my right foot,but my back pain has gone.
I enjoy a drink or two at the weekends so I have avoided the PKs since Wednesday night.
Its a simelar pain as though I have broken something (aching and then goes slightly)I can walk on it no problem,but there is some numbness after a while and the base of the foot feels as though it wants too “turn in” causing me to trip occasionally.Sometimes the pain gets so bad I have to take my sock off and boot (not done up tightly) as it feels as though its affecting circulation or something.
I cant recall any recent injurys related to my foot, although I once chipped a bone on the heal in a motorcycle accident.
I do have a high pain threshhold and am the kind of person that doesent realise I have cut myself until theres blood all over the place if that helps!
I appreciate this is not the Ideal place for advice on medical queries but any opinions or experience of this would be greatly appreciated,thanks. 😉
