Get someone to drive you to the emergency room now! This may be a pinched nerve, but could be something more serious.

in 2005 i started having lower back pain, left leg pain, alot of stiffness when i got up in the morning. i was only 37 @ the time. I went to the nureoligist and had a m.r.i. done it turns out that i had a herniated disc ( L5 S1) as its called. i had the surgey feb 10 2006. i can tell you i was in the hospital for 3 days & laid up about a week afterwards..
unfortunately this isn't the end of the story...
as of june 18th 2007 i had another m.r.i. done because i was having pain again in the same area..
it turns out that i have more problems than the 1st nuroligist i saw told me about...
i guess what i want for you to learn from my experience is do the research on the doctors you pick to do any type of surgery you may or may not need... the second nuro told me that there had been the problem i have now back when i had the 1st surgery....so now im stuck having to deal with another surgery sometime in the future.....
best advice for laying down ... take a hot shower before you go to bed, use a pillow to raise your legs slightly..
take some aleeve 30 befor you go to bed

Ice pack as a treatment for back pain The correct way to apply ice pack or ice cubes wrapped in a towel or plastic bag is to apply it on the back for 15 minutes and take it off for the next 25 minutes and then apply. Repeat this process until you are ease. If you still pain means, it's better to take natural supplements for your back pain. before taking any supplemnts you can read reviews on web, so that you can get some information about which one is good and which one is not good.

Sounds like you are having scaitica which arises from a slipped disk in your back. Youneed to check with your doctor and he may ask you to get a MRI scan of your back to asess the severity of the problem. If not severe than physiotheraphy or your chiropractor may help you.

i have that! its a pinched nerve. mine is in my lower back. all you have to do to get it to where it doesn't hurt as much. if you lay on your back and you bring your right knee up to you left shoulder. and you stretch it out. it night hurt. but it works a ton. then do the same to your left side, bring your left knee up to your right shoulder. hold it for about 5-10 seconds. do it like every morning. or every night.
hope this helps!

I suggest going to a chiropractor, a traditional doctor is quicker to suggest surgery, however going to a chiropractor can be pretty expensive too. Some insurances don't/won't cover it, however I have had similar problems to the one you described, & the chiropractor did wonders. Go to one for a prognosis, some offer free service upon your 1st visit.
