Whining

This leg pain really needs to stop. I was doing something in the garage last week and managed to tweak my back. Shortly afterward, my left leg said "Oh cool, we're being assholes?" and proceeded to prove just how assholish it can be.

Pretty sure it's a pinched nerve in my back doing it, but it just won't work out.

Also, less than a week until I can take my sheath lock off and it's really driving me crazy!

And people. And things. And...and...other stuff!

Yeah, something like that XD

Actually going to try out a couple different designs over the next month, but going to the shore the first week of September, so won't be dedicating to anything long term until after that

I would look into a chiropractor, i see one every couple of weeks for my bad back and it works wonders

Stubborn wusky is stubborn! XD

I went to one when my back went nuts at work years ago. Probably should have kept going, Chiropractic is a legitimate health maintenance organization tbh

I would suggest going to a Scientific Doctor instead of Pseudo Science like Chiropractors.

The pain goes down along the outside of your left leg and does your knee feel weak as well?

Outside and back, and yeah, it takes a couple minutes to get it to support my weight in the morning. I'm assuming it has something to do with the sciatic nerve and/or that my mattress is way too old

Sounds it is getting pinched but not constant. Chiropractors will really just crack ya, won't really help with the nerve. Usually losing a bit of weight helps, or if this is unusual you might just be inflamed. If it persists, you should visit a Doctor. Maybe some anti inflammatory stuff will do the trick. ^_^ For legal purposes: This is not Medical Advice. :p I'm not a Registered Doctor, I'm just a bit familiar with Sciatic stuff having read up on the topic a bit as a layman.

Yeah, but I'm afraid I'm with Brexxie that Chiropractic is the way to go first. i really don't like medications at all, and most modern chiropractors take xrays, and aren't shy about recommending a medical visit if it looks like it was warranted. At any rate, as long as I can get out of bed and eventually move around, I'll continue to let my body heal itself.

Ok, in all honesty, a few years ago, I actually spent nearly three days literally crawling between my bed and bathroom, pretty much flopping around in pain every half hour to forty-five minutes until I found a position where the pain was bearable for a while. I just...REALLY...don't trust doctors, and have too many first-person stories to even try to challenge that distrust.

That's fine, still not a medicine but I feel compelled to point out, I didn't suggest "Pills" and "Medications" beyond temporary anti inflammation which unlike bone cracking, might actually have an effect on what it sounds like the problem is.

Dressing up Pseudoscience is kind of what they do by the way. ^_~ I don't really care if they take X-rays or not, you'd be amazed how far you can go with Crystals and Dolphins too.

I know. Thought I mentioned that in my initial post. I must have deleted it by accident when making an edit. :p It's kinda how it works when the nerve is pinched.

Well you're free to believe what you want without evidence all you want. :p I won't try to change you, I was merely trying to offer some assistance since I've read up on the issue in the past. Be it pills or not (and there are plenty of actual Scientific Medical treatments for this kind of thing that don't involve pills but never mind that.), I just think Science is more reliable than human bias. ^_^

Goodluck and hope the best for you.

"Believe what you want without evidence," how about you fuck off ignorant ass, as I said, medicine has failed my family several times, and if you really want to help people, don't come off first like you have a personal vendetta against the alternative

Okay I'll fuck off, but I'm only speaking against beliefs without evidence. I'm sorry saying that seems to strike a nerve. Go on to your Chiropractor, especially since he's going to take X-rays for NERVE issues. But don't worry, I'm the ignorant ass apparently. My bad for trying to help. I meant nothing negative by it. Good luck to you.

Chiropractic is legitimate, all Medical doctors want to do is push pills because they are under the influence of the big pharma companies, i have been going to chiropractors for years now and i am off all of the opiates that Medical doctors love to give out like candy, i have a damaged spine due to my own stupid self, back when i was 14 i fell out of a tree and broke my left femur, both wrists, suffered a concussion and damaged my spine. 10 years ago i started going to a Chiropractor and and my life has changed for the better

@ Brexxie

Because Doctors and Pharmaceuticals push pills to much is not an argument in favor of the premise that Chiropractic practices are legitimate.

Your Anecdotal experiences are not evidence. I'm sorry to be blunt like that. I'm glad you have found the experiences helpful and gotten you off the opiates Medical Doctors are far too forced by legal action (from clients) and bosses / check writers to push a ton of pills which are overly expensive.

Regarding what happened when you were 14. YIPES! I'm glad you survived. ^_^

It is worth noting that Western Medicine tends to be very good regarding disease but Eastern Medicine often has more experience with body from what I had looked into a long while ago. The only constant both have for consistent results is Scientific Inquiry.

You had no argument, but I'm pleased you've improved so much though. ^_^
