Unknown Pain

So, since Wednesday I have had this numbing in my right thigh. It goes from my hip to my knee and has been causing a lot of pain. It started as pins and needles but it has grown to a constant burning pain. I went to the chiropractor on Thursday to see if he could loosen it up, but this was to no avail. I wasn't able to sleep Thursday night so I went to the ER early Friday morning. X-rays were taken and I was loaded up with medicine. It is thought I may have a herniated disk in my back but there is nothing showing up on the x-rays. I am going to set up appointments for physical therapy to see if I can work it out, otherwise it sounds like and MRI and possible minor surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve, which is what seems to be causing the numbness. For now I just have to suck it up, take the pills, and hope for the best.

Wish Me Luck
