What causes extreme pain while walking due to an injury?
Hello doctor,
I hurt myself two days ago and it seemed to be getting better. But today it is worse than when it started. Most of the pain is in the right side area. Today, I cannot walk due to excruciating pain. The only relief is laying flat on my back or standing at the foot of the bed and bent over with my face on the mattress. As said, I was doing better the past two days but yesterday I laid flat down on the bed while my husband rubs my legs and I was propped up on my forearms and I am wondering if that did not make things worse. I felt pretty good when getting out of the bed and during the shower and then the pain started to come back and quickly accelerated to not being able to even sit in a chair due to excruciating pain. Again, as long as I am lying flat I do not feel it at all but if I try to move side to side I feel excruciating pain.

How to manage a disc protrusion?
Hello,
I am a 28-year-old female having a disc protrusion in L5-S1.
My lower back pain begins during my menstrual cycle, persists for almost one and a half weeks, and then subsides until the onset of the next cycle. I have a retroverted uterus, which is probably causing me more pain. I wanted to ask you if you have had a case like mine and how it was cured since physiotherapy has not cured me so far. Please help.
Thank you.
