Rock Bottom

I have hit what I consider my rock bottom. Just when I think I have my Fibro pain in a place I can at least cope with day to day, I fell at work and hurt my back/leg. Lower  back is hurting more than I could ever imagine and left leg is numb to the touch right to my toes but yet I still feel sharp searing pain shooting down. Hospital xray'd my tailbone and says I am fine, I have a bruise. I can go back to work on modified duties for a few days. My work refuses to send someone to pick me up so I can retrieve my car from work yet I am told I must report for duty at 7am.

I sit here unable to stop crying, not sure if its from the back and leg pain or just plain tired of living in pain all together.

I am so sorry you are having one of those days too. Ice and heat repeat. Its probably wrong of me but I do not mention why I take cymbalta or lyrica unless I am asked. I am sick of the attitudes.

Thanks everyone for your support. I have found family to drive me to work today as I still don't have my car. Good news is my lower back pain seems to be gone and like Debbie said it now starts in my butt and shoots down my leg. Surely they would have seen something in the xray even though they were looking at my tailbone?

No idea how work will go today but I will make an appt with my family doctor and thats it for me and the Emerg dept.....never again as its just not worth it.

I went to work today............had to have family drive me at 5am. By 8am I couldn't stand the pain, had taken aspirin, Tylenol and Demerol all which had very little effect. I call my office the minute they opened and god love them they fit me in an hour later. I left work after much complaining but just no longer cared.
My doctor is amazing. He first apologized for the unsympathetic doctor at emerg. Seems the muscles in my lower back and buttocks are in spasm and as a result that has inflamed all the nerve endings for my left leg resulting in horrid pain, weakness and numbness. He has prescribed Valium, Naproxen and Percs as well as massage therapy 2-3 times a week for the next 3 weeks. He adjusted my work limitations to include that yes I can return to work on Friday only if I am able to get a massage by then as well as modified duties as long as they are ok with me being sedated, forgetful and possibly confused.
What he did mention was he will be changing my Demerol for Fibro pain control to Percs on my next renewal.

Thanks again everyone for listening to me whine and giving helpful suggestions.

Update............

Things are going better. Trying to cool it on the pain meds and valium and so far cut them way back and back and leg pain is manageable so far. Had a CT scan today to try and see why I have continued leg weakness and a floppy kinda foot. I walk weird.

All in all I am trying hard to get over my rock bottom feeling and take one day at a time. Thanks for the advice and sympathetic eyes here.
