Oh my god.

The last few weeks, I've been having worse and worse back/leg pains. Percocet has been helping, though.

Yesterday, I woke up howling in pain, and ever since then my hands have been near numb (when they're not burning), and there's been super sharp shooting pains running up and down my leg. Not to mention the BACK PAIN FROM HELL. It's horrible. Percocet's not even really helping any more :(

I did some research online, and I am fairly convinced I have a pinched nerve in my back, or sciatica. Seems like it. :/

I'll probably have to go to the hospital again :/ Injectable painkillers for the win.

Ouch! Few things put you out of commission like back pain, whether from a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle or whatever else. My back and neck bother me on occasion and there are times where just getting out of bed is literally a struggle. I'm probably due to wake up to a morning of that anytime now, given how long I've been without such a disaster (it's been 2 or 3 years since a really bad incident, I think).
