Does anyone on here have any experience with herniated discs? I'm looking for any advice on how I can help alleviate the pain at home. I have no health insurance so I would have to go to the ER. I have already been and they don't treat it. They hardly even really diagnose it. It's basically what they said they think I have last time I went a few months back. Well, it's gotten really severe the last 3 days and I'm at my wits end!!!! I've been taking 800 mg Ibuprofen and Ultram. Done hot baths and heating pads. I'm starting to have trouble with just about any movements and nerve pain too in my sciatic nerve. Any suggestions are welcome!
