Hello, I Overworked My Back Landscaping On Tuesday/Wednesday This Week
Hello,
I overworked my back landscaping on Tuesday/Wednesday this week and am experiencing lower back pain that shoots down my left leg. I saw a Doctor yesterday and was prescribed naproxen,Tylenol 3 and Percocet(I haven't used the Percocet yet). I have a history of arthritis in my lower back, which does not bother me all the time.
My back and leg felt better yesterday after taking a couple of the naproxen and Tylenol 3s. This morning though I woke up and my lower left leg was experiencing numbness. My back still feels a bit better and the shooting pain in my left leg is also a bit better.
Should I re-visit a Doctor because of the lower leg numbness?
Thank you
