Great! How do I fix this

You may need to give a little background info. Traumatic vs. non traumatic? Acute vs. recurrent vs. chronic? Inflamed nerve or as a combo symptom to piriformis dysfunction or pre-existent back condition

I've had a weird feeling in my left hip on and off for a year or more. It's always gone away before Saturday. My left leg is now numb and excruciating pain down my leg and lower LH back

No other injuries

I bought one of these @ 3:40 this morning. This guy made bank off me

Acute rapid onset = inflamed tissue. Neuropathy dysfunction = restriction/ constriction, most likely due to muscle guarding (absent of trauma). High dose anti-inflammatory, rest and pumping exercises are the standard of care. You need to address the inflammation aggressively and need to normalize the muscle guarding/restrictions ASAP.

That sounds pretty serious

I am on a 6 day Medrol Pak, Muscle Relaxers and Aspirin. I'm trying my best not to sit, but to be honest I can hardly walk today

Flash, my Friend:

I'm so sorry to hear you are experiencing this pain and suffering.
Happens to a lot of hard working folks.

I've had this off and on for years now...due to an industrial injury. Not any FUN!!

Physical therapy seems to help, at times...
I've persisted in my telling the Doctors that as long as I can walk half-way decent, there will be no surgery.

So far, So good...for this old Man.

Your brain see the "event" and creates a reaction chain of event which is going to be overboard. Your job is to counteract it. The dose pack and aspirin is the strong anti-inflammatory I was talking about, now come you having to address the muscle guarding/spams and any other restrictions.
