Medical History
- Medical History
Diagnosis: Herniated Disk (with high level of pain)
History: I have had minor muscular pain around 30 years and normally a day or 2 of muscle relaxants, rest and exercise fixes and then nothing for years. Had some problems a few years ago which was more severe and resulted in Left Leg sciatic pain but chiropractor brought under control. Unfortunately in country and job that has made gym membership with pool difficult. Recently had bicycle accident and broke both arms (took some Paracetemol which common brand in US is Tylanol for that pain relief and thought had a reasonable pain threshold). When near full recovery from the broken arms, my back then right leg started to give problems. Started back treatment by physiotherapist then saw doctor. A few days later (over weekend) standing or sitting for a few seconds results in incredible pain so went to Hospital Emergency (stronger medicine given), pushed for MRI and doctor again upgraded medication to OxyContin (3 changes / upgrades of medication over period of a week). Never had this much pain and would prefer to break arms again rather than this.My quality of life according to http://www.theacpa.org/documents/Quality_of_Life_Scale.pdf is 1. but improving (hope not in denial)
15Aug Have improved a lot and can walk many km but still trouble standing still or sitting
