Mild Sciatica?

So i have been having bad back pain for over 7 months now. There are good days and there are not-so good days.

Went to 3 doctors and most i get are muscle relaxants and pain killers. I avoid the pain killers cuz i can stand the pain but one doc also gave me nerve vitamins. Anyway, it didn't get all better and i think it got worse the past 2 weeks esp after driving 1000 km in 2 days. My granduncle passed away last Thursday and i drove my family up to Penang and then sent my parents back to Seremban. Since then, my whole right leg and back has had permanent tingling/pins and needles and my fourth and fifth toes are kinda numb. :S

Anyway, i finally gathered the courage to go see a doc today. And since it's my second time seeing him, and my condition has not improved and maybe even worsen, he had written me a referral letter to see an orthopaedic (specialist) to get my spine scanned. It all sounds rather scary to me. Sigh.

Oh well, there is nothing else i can do now....but will wait till Monday to see what HR has to say or suggest. Sleeping is uncomfortable nowadays. I hope it isn't anything too serious. :S

Goodnight.....
