how do i get low cost relief for my bulging disk, and pinched nerve pain?
i am in total agony, with a lot of pain in my lower back, and radiating into my right hip. i dont have much money to spend, but i need pain help. ive been in pain for probably 5 months, and my doctors insisted that i was not in pain. now after an mri showed a bulging disk and a pinched nerve in my back, they are refusing me pain meds. im on a lot of other meds, for different stuff, so herbal is not an option. i dont have the money or any insurance to cover chiro or massage therapy. does hot water or ice packs work? is there a massager i can buy to help with the pain. it has to be low cost though. any other ideas would be nice. im not supposed to stretch it, or carry anything over 10-15lbs. i am basically bedridden at the moment, because movement causes me serious pain
I’ve been there and it’s not fun! Here are some no cost options to try:
1) if it’s a pinched nerve, don’t use heat because it may aggravate it/inflame it. Use ice. Put some ice or frozen peas in a bag in a towel or washcloth and place it on that area for as long as you can stand it (maybe 10 minutes or so). Wait a few minutes and do it again. You may have to move it around a little, so it’s not constantly in the same spot. You need to do this several times a day!
I agree with “Faith” that medical doctors really don’t understand back pain…”not stretching” is nuts! Try this:
2) if you live with someone, lay on your back on your bed with your feet hanging off the edge. (it’s easiest if you lay on your bed from side to side, rather than the direction you normally would lay). Have someone GENTLY tug on both of your legs (at the same time). It’s easier for them to hold on to you if you have some shoes on, like sneakers or a snug shoe. This tugging should feel good because it allows the discs to separate a bit and relieves the pressure on the nerve (the nerve fits between the discs). Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the nerve will move the slightest bit and will actually relieve some of the pain. This simulates the idea of traction on your spine.
3) After you’ve done that, have your friend/spouse walk around to your head and GENTLY tug on both of your arms (both arms at the same time). While they do this, take a deep breath and let it all out. You’ll find that the deep breathing allows for a more complete stretch. This should also feel awesome on your back/disc.
4) If you possibly can, lay on your back on the carpeted floor. Gently pull one knee up to your chest and hold it there. You may need someone else to help you with this if you are in major pain. Put that one down and do the other knee. Then you could try to lift both knees up to your chest at the same time and GENTLY roll side to side.
5) Another good stretch: stand up and GENTLY allow your hands to drop down towards the floor (so that you are trying to touch your toes). Stay there and keep deep breathing. Each time you exhale, allow your body to “fall” a little deeper. Hang like a limp rag doll. Sometimes this feels really good on your back.
6) As for pain, can you take ibuprofin with your other medication? If so, take two 200 mg tablets to help reduce some of the inflammation and the pain.
7) Check on the internet to see if there are any chiropractic schools or massage therapy schools in your area that you could get a reduced rate for treatment.
I feel SOOO bad for you! No one understands that pain unless they’ve experienced it! Try these and let me know how they work for you.
