Please can someone advise me on what I can do? I have dreadful sciatica and I mean dreadful. I'm almost in tears because I'm in so much pain. My back, bum, tops of my legs hurt so much and now my hips and even my knees are starting to cause me a hell of a lot of pain too. I struggled walking around earlier because of the pain I am in. I've already been put on codeine by my doctor but my midwife told me to come off it because it was making me feel unwell. I've been told to take paracetamol once every 6 hours which is what I'm doing but the pain just stays there. Paracetamol doesn't take the pain away. I cannot sit in a position for more than 5-10 minutes without being in pain. I stand for too long I'm in pain, I lay down I'm in pain. It hurts me so much to move at night when I'm laid down in my bed that sometimes I lay there crying. I've text my midwife today but haven't had a reply as of yet. Can anyone please help me out here with some advise? A friend of mine has offered for me to borrow some crutches that she has but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do. Please help😔
