It happened when I lifted DS into the bath earlier this afternoon.
Pain started in lower back then moved into left buttock and then began radiating all down my left leg.
I can't sit down, stand, bend, lie down...it hurts to do anything really :(
Have tried ice packs, have taken naproxen and then paracetamol - nothing has really helped.
Have given up and gone to bed but in too much pain to sleep. My lower leg now feels slightly numb and very tingly.
Short of a miracle occurring overnight, I'm likely to be in same position in the morning so do I go for out of hours dr or A&E? Or do nothing?
Should add that I have 4DCs and a lone parent although could cover childcare for dr/a&e but nothing in way of actual helping out with kids so need this sorted ASAP.
Ouch!!!
