Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It sounds like you might have a pinched nerve. This can sometimes happen if a disc in the back is bulging related to inflammation or injury.
I would suggest that you try taking ibuprofen at a dosage of 600 mg every eight hours for the next 3 to 5 days.
The anti-inflammatory effects of the ibuprofen will hopefully help alleviate your pain and increase your ability to ambulate. If your symptoms are not approved or if your symptoms become worse over the next two or three days then I would suggest that you contact your primary care doctor for follow up in discussion.
Thank you again for sending the question.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
