I fell two weeks ago on ice outside a store in our town, hit the concrete pretty hard. I'm three months post-op, knee busted open, hurting , terrified, unsure of how to get up, so my ego was bruised when a gentleman 40 years to my 35 had to help me stand. Since I have had major pain in my low back area that leads down my hips and leg. Feels like sciatic pain, but also pressure from the end of my rib cage to my butt. I am going for an X-ray tomorrow since it has been two weeks and the pain has not eased ( only taking Tylenol and GABA) and it's too early for an anti inflammatory. I think it's just inflammation and nerve pain which there probably isn't much they can do. I am doing hot soaks, ice, bio-freeze, and any other trick in the book. Trying to avoid pain meds, any ideas of other things to help?
