I have pain going down to my right calf, and numbess on the bottom of right foot soleand heel. I just started feeling this pain friday morning and it is now the 25th of july and I still have it and has not got down one bit. I have had 2 back surgeories (artifical disc FWB 2007, fusion june 25th as well , many epidurals and many more facet injections, both at the L4/L5.) I am worried that i also gotten a damaged nerve.The numbness in my foot and the pain in my calf is allowing me NOT to sleep. It is painfull and irritating. I also just recently learned I have arhritis in my neck now too. I have had high white blood cells for over 2 years and till present. I do not know if I should go to the emergency, or urngent care, the reason I ask this is if I go to urgent care, the equipment and tools that can help and can only perform simple medical problems, on the other hand, if I go to the emergency, I will have to wait for several hours anb my back can only take so much pain. Social Security denied my claim by saying I can still work. I know that I can not work and if I did start work, I know that I will be fired within the week. I have 2-3 doctors appointments just at the Veterans Affairs. Thats just the start of it. I also have a pain doctor that I see 1-2 times a month that lasts all day. I also have my primary care outside of military medicines, and so on and so forth, so if anyone would like someone who is currently on 20 pills a day to controll my other medical problems. What would be the best selection to go with to find out what is wrong. Any solutions, help and tips to forget this pain.
