I was delivering a large appliance (about 400lbs) and felt sharp pain across my lower back. I have a constant dull pain acompanied by acute sharp pains regardless of meds. The doctor and physical therapist have both deemed it sacroiliitis and after reading up on it I think they are correct. My doctor has also refered me to a pain management doctor though I am still waiting for initial apt. Currently it only takes about a 10 minute ride in a car for my left leg to start tingling and going half asleep all the way to my toes if it's not that way to begin with. I am a driver by trade. I have been off work for almost a month and while I am learning to live w/pain, my question is what am I looking at long term? Is this some thing that will heal completely or is it time for me to start looking at a different line of work? Should I expect to be dealing with this for the rest of my life? I have not been able to locate anything so far that even hints at answers to these questions.
