Sciatic Nerve Pain, Taken Percocet, Brain Fog, Arms And Legs Feeling Like Dead Weight. Due To Percocet?
i took 2 percocet (6 hours apart) last evening, last one at 9 pm cst. I am having severe pain with my sciatic nerve . I was unable to sleep all night, and today feel awful. My legs and arms feel like lead weights, my head is in a fog, and I just dont feel right at all. Could this be the percocet? I have taken percocet in the past with no problems at all. I am so confused

Hi welcome to HCMForum. Sciatica is such a problem some times due to over strain or after consuming some foods it will
aggrevate to a peak. the tablets you have taken will not have any effect like this. more over you have used it before also. I
advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. you may have to take MRI besides other routine tests
for confermation of the diagnosis. Rest is the main thing necessory for recovery.
Besides i advise you some diet recomendations as Avoid taking potato other tubers tomato cauliflower coconut egg chicken
sea foods as they increase the sensitivity of nerves to pain. practice the diversion procedures like reading hearing music meditation
etc. wishing for a quick recovery. thanks for calling.
