I am waiting in line for a colposcopy to confirm that i have cervical cancer. ( I couldn’t find m/update my last posting) In the last few days, i have had a sudden onset of lower back pain , from my tail~bone to my right hip and shooting down my leg. My GP retired earlier this year, and I have another 3 weeks til the appt with the Ob/Gyn oncologist…
I’m also a parent w/ 2 children. I haven’t the time / ability to sit in the urgent care unit (it can take several hours) as I am also nauseous w/headaches from the stress of it all)
In the past I had taken Lakota Pain Relief Capsules ( I have a weak stomach) I was told by the referring DR NOT to as it may cause more issues with the potential of Cervical Cancer… Aleve (Ibuprofen/NSAID)no longer takes the edge off of the pain, what if anything can you recommend for pain relief ?!?
The pain is 24/7 and is interrupting my sleep and keeping me confined close to home for now… (it’s difficult to bear full weight on my right leg,and i feel weak and nauseated at the same time)
Thank you both for answering my question.

After being admitted to hospital (I couldn’t bear any weight period)
I was found to have an inflammed Sciatic nerve ?!?

They’ve scheduled me for a CAT scan later this week to determine the exact cause.

In the mean~time, I’m all mellowed out on Codeine and have been told todo as little as possible til then…

I have crutches to use for now,(mostly for balance)

I’ll be starting a rotation of physio and massage therapy as well in the coming weeks.

Possibly followed by chiropractic adjustments & accupuncture for additional pain relief…
