Hello. In early November I began having severe lower back pain. Within a week the pain was also in both hips and my right thigh. I went to the doctor and was prescribed an anti inflammatory. After a few days with no improvement, I called my doctor and was prescribed the muscle relaxer, Flexeril. I was still getting no relief and my pain was getting worse every day. I saw my doctor again and the next day, I had steroid injections in my back at L5. Three days time passed and my back and hips were feeling much better. My back however, was much worse. It s now been about six weeks and my pain is severe! My right thigh feels like someone has beaten me non stop. I have constant muscle ache along with shots of pain that feel like I m being hit with a tazer electric shock. I m also experiencing pin point stabbing pains on a regular basis, several times an hour, as with the pain that feels like an electric shock. For the past two days, I ve now begun having pain in my calf in addition to my thigh. I don t see my doctor again until 12/27/13, but I m concerned about what might be going on. Are there any questions I should ask my doctor? My doctor did tell me he believes my pain is coming from a pinched nerve. I ve had no other testing, just x-rays back in November at my first appointment with the doctor.
