I injured my back about 2 months ago. They called it a lower lumbar sprain. The pain is not getting any better infact my pain is worse now then when i first injured it. I now have numbness and tingling in my legs and feet. Should i go into the er and have it checkout or is this normal with these types of injurys?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. With such presentations in my clinic, I will notify my patient that these symptoms are mostly due to nerve root compression from the back problem. I suggest doing MRI lumbosacral spine to know the cause of problem(maybe herniated disc)I prefer using neurotics, Pregabalin,Muscle relaxant and lumbosacral belt.
