Uncertain of place to tell

Yesterday, I got in my car to drive to Baltimore Maryland. The drive should take about 60 - 75 minutes. I got there. I spent the day driving around, walking is out of the question. I go out of the car to use the facilities and have lunch. I was having difficulty with my r leg because of sciatic situations. I would get out & stretch & walk around my car very often. By 2 pm, the pain was unreal. I started my drive back. I could not get comfortable. the pain in my r leg and especially my thigh brought me to tears. If there is nothing wrong with my back and sciatic that can be helped, what is going on?! I made it home. I could not get out of my car. I tried to get out of my car. I stood up! I walked around my car. I could see the front door of my house. I could not walk!! TEARS!!!The pain in my legs especially my r was an ache, not stabbing, that was on fire. I tried to rub and move the leg. No luck. I could see my front door. I could not move. I fell to the ground. I was going to crawl to the door. Two of my neighbors saw me go down. I crawled on my car to stand. They moved me into the house & sat me down. UGH!! pain in my legs especially my right leg was unreal. If there is nothing wrong with my back! had 2 shots in r sciatic - what is this?! I don't know which doctor to re-visit. I got to get this weight off. I do not know what to do, think or which way to turn.

I would tell which ever doctor will listen at this point. Pain is not normal and to be in that much pain there has to be something wrong. You may even benefit from a chiropractor. They really can do wonders when the other doctors can't seem to help at all.

Thanks for answering. I will be trying the chiro (again). I will be heading back to the my back surgeon about this.

Hope you feel better. One day , before wls , I was helping to cut my mom's grass. Bent down to pick up a stick , and  , I couldn't move. After I finally got home ( this was the weekend,,,of course) and sat down I was there for ever. I went to my pcp on monday here he said it was my sacreliac (sp?) he said "yes , you do have one of those" I was on muscle relaxers for two weeks, had to sit to cook dinner. ( no one offered to help me at the time) My daughter was on vacation went to SC came home because of a Hurricane and decided to go to AC... Hello ! same weather there also !!! I have learned not to "assume" anything ! You have to TELL them to do it or it won't get done..( sometimes that doesn't work either) Hope you feel better soon. Sandy

I was diagnosed with lower lumbar deterioration in 1980. I have had 2 back surgeries and the pain in my right leg has always stayed. I drive and have to go through the same thing as you described. By the time I am where I need to be I hate getting out of the car and standing up. I have gotten a jump by taking darvocet before I leave home and by the time I am ready to get out of car it has kicked in. I also will sit for a long period of time and my leg does this. Pain makes you want to cry and scream for help. I saw my dr for my back and he says it is the RA and that there is no surgery that will fix the radiating pain. To lie down and apply heat and cold alternately. Unless MRI shows something else he was certain it was the sciatic nerve being compromised by the poor circulation  the RA is causing.
