I have been diagnosive polyneuraphy and severe DDD. I cannot lay down because pain worsens. I am scheduled for EMG and NCV. I am taking Lyrica to help with muscle spasms and nerve pain. When I am in pain I am unable to move or walk due to severe pain. I use a walker so I don't fall. Once I am up I can walk after about an hour with pain but not as severe as when I lay flat. I cannot do everyday simple chores. My muscles are weak and stretch without my help which also will cause pain to increases. The pain seems to be sore, tender and raw on the lower left side of my spine and radiates to both buttocks and legs with numbness and tingling minimal. I have been sleeping in a recliner for 3 months because I cannot lay flat. The muscle weakness seems worse in my hands and left leg and I cannot support my lower body due to the pain which has caused me to fall several time. What can be done? I need help and I am very depressed due to the pain. I will not see dr for results for 2 more months.
