i dunno abt the "west" man.
i walk in. she asked...
qns 1 : any numbness ?
qns 2 : any pain in the leg ?
then its an ok done u can go now. collect ur meds at the
counter...
what a total waste of time...
here's one who has suffered from lots of types of back
pains..
the numbness is to check if there is a blocked nerve..
the pain in the leg is to check if there is a pinched nerve or a
slipped disc..
if neither, and there was no trauma, that is, no fall or impact,
there will be no fracture.. which means that the only thing left is
muscle spasms/pulls/tears.. things like that..
and if you can walk, and it is better in 3 days, it's probably a
pull.. a pull - let the body heal it.. with rest.. treat with
painkillers/anti-inflammatories like aspirin, ponstan, indocid..
the salicylates.. those are very effective..
you'll be fine soon..
