Hey guys, im a 24 yr old oil field worker. The other day, when i woke up i noticed a stiffening in the my left buttock and lower back, Thinking it was just a sore muscle, i threw on some A5-35 and took some IB Profen. Through out the day, i didnt really feel any pain or stiffness, when i got back in my truck and was sitting for 30 minutes, when i tried to get out i had the same stiffness as when i first woke up.
So after a day or two of waking up to the same stiffness/pain i noticed also my left foot started to be sore , as well when sitting down for extended periods, i got almost a numbing pain on my left back, buttock and leg along with a burning sensation in my left hip
After a few more days i was kneeling down setting up some equipment and when i went to stand up, i felt almost like a popping in my lower left back and now its virtually so uncomfortable with pain that i cannot sleep more then an hour or two at night. Along with this , it hurts to sit or lay down and the most comfortable for me is standing up or walking.
Now i imagine i need to get into a doctor ASAP, but does anyone have any insight as to what maybe happening at this point?
