Then got told 2 get up and walk...my pain was so severe I could still feel.it through all.the meds I took...I told them my pain was 10/10 when asked to rate it...told them where it hurt, also told them that i had this extremely sore pain in my right thigh...ft like a tingly, numb BURNING sensation...anyways..cos i don t like ppl seeing mey, I walked out and went home...cried though out the night taking edone and penadene fort...pain in my back eased a little but the pain in my thigh has gotten worse more-so it has spread thoughout both legs...only part of.my legs that don t hurt are my feet ...tried to tell them that I also have what seems 2 feel like a.sharp knife in my right back rib cage...went 2 see my GP today and got sent 2 take a x-ray ...now my pain is back, severe pain in my whole body, going to the bathroom a lot...pain is soooooo bad I don t want to take anymore pain killers as.I just fall off to sleep for just an hour and wake up screaming....also I forgot to mention I had surgey 3days prior to my episode.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
the remedy for now, till you're x rayed, is bsolute bed rest, and pain relievers.had you been taken in in ER, nursing care could be more helpful, but whatever system permits, you have to bank on your GP till then.since have so severe pain,your GP may give injectibles for longer pain relief
