Terrible Back Pain

[Shadi Badi]

I have had back pain for a little over a year now. Going from the back of my neck all the way down my back, its tender to the touch and always in pain. I have recently started having pains in my legs and stabbing pains on my left back side, on and off. My fingers hurt all the time when I am doing something and sometimes in my toes, I have nombness and swelling. Also when I stand or when im doing things like dishes, I feel so much pain in my back that I have to stop doing what I am doing for that moment. I cant mop or do anything like that, without it hurting. I am in the most pain in the morning when I wake up. Is this something I should go to the ER for? The pain is really bad. And once in a blue I will have striking pains in my head.

I recommend you go see your dr. It sounds like a problem I'm just getting over with my sciatic nerve. I was given pain meds and did physical therapy and lots of massage therapy. The massage therapy and stretches I learned in physical therapy have helped so much. I hope you get better.
