Having a bit of a health dilemma?!
Question: Having a bit of a health dilemma.?
a few months ago my husband pinched a root nerve in his spine and was in an immense amt of pain. After going to physio and stretching a lot it got better.
It has since returned and much worse than last time, he can barely walk. Our family doctor is also a friend of ours so we do know his home number. I can't get my husband into his clinic until thursday, altho we talked to him on Saturday and he called in some meds that haven't really done anything except make my husband dizzy!
I'm just wondering if it would be appropriate to call our doctor at home.? I don't like the idea of it, but i mean the guy can barely walk, has thrown up because he's so dizzy and hasn't really slept more than 3 hrs a night for 5 days.
Help, any thoughts.?

Sounds like a spinal injury or severe nerve injury. I suggest calling an ambulance and getting more medical attention to a proper doctor. No offense to your current doctor but it is best if he gets additional help before things get worse. This is serious!!Health Question & Answer
I would call your doctor friend to get his opinion. It couldn't hurt, and if he's a friend, I'm sure he won't mind. I hope everything gets better. Get luck!Health Question & Answer
