I had a hemilaminectomy on may 29, 2003...I was excited as all my leg pain was gone...At last I was free!!! I started my new rn job on july 12, 2003, I just graduated may 10th, 2003...I was ready to conquer the world!!! Fast forward to this week...11/10/03...I started showing signs of leg pain, numbness and my life flashing before me. I am scared to death as I cannot go through what I went through before. I am in medical debt already and I cannot afford to quit this very good paying job but on the other hand it is killing my back which in turn started the sciatica pain all over again. I don't know what to do, I feel like I should know what to do as I am a nurse. I am considering accupuncture...Does anyone have any advice for me before I go off seeing yet another doctor or trying accupuncture??? I am scared out of my mind and slowly becoming depressed again...I just lost 20 lbs from eating right and exercising...I need to lose another 20 but I think the exercising is aggravating my back as well...Help!!!
