4 days ago my back was feeling tight and I tried to pop it while I was sitting in a kitchen chair. I didn't go far at all and I didn't hear any pop but on the recovery I felt an intense sharp pain in my lower back and hip area. Over the next few hours my left upper leg got entirely numb and I was in so much damn pain I puked. I took a trip to the doctor and he gave me some muscle relaxers and did some xrays. He said everything looks fine and I probably have a "spinal contusion" or bruise from an impact and that complete numbness in certain areas may be normal.
I think the spinal contusion diagnosis sounds wrong and it's a pinched nerve of some sort. Since it happened my leg remains numb and I have to stay on the damned muscle relaxers to keep the pain at bay.
Has anyone had a pinched nerve and experienced symptoms like these?
