What Causes Lower Back And Leg Pain Along With Numbness?

I figured this was all about money. Been out of work 7 months. Lost my phone and car. Have no groceries. So yep. No one cares. I fell 8 months ago and twisted my leg and back. Had a lot of pain but tried to keep working. I work in a factory lifting heavy boxes finally had to leave it just got worse. It s been 7 months now of severe back pain that feels like my back is breaking. I guess it s muscle pain. My leg shoots pain down it and sometimes goes numb. Sometimes can hardly walk. I can t ride in a car or have sex or anything that will jar my back. Sometimes I just cry wishing I was dead. All my doctor has done is MRI that came out just mild osteoarthritis. He said there is no reason for that much pain. He can t even touch it without pain. I am on two muscle relaxers two blood pressure pills and a pain pill. My blood pressure goes real high when I am hurting. I only have one kidney so many things I can t take. Please help.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lower back and leg pain along with numbness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query sciatic nerve compression , nerve compression or injury due to your condition or peripheral or diabetic neuropathy . I would suggest you to consult your orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe physical therapy along with nerve supplement like neurobion forte . Doctor may consider surgery in severe cases . In some cases doctor prefer to give steroid injection . For now do gentle massage , eat healthy and take proper rest . Also apply warm compresses to back . For now take proper rest and do no do ant physical work.
