Slipped Discs?

[Scarlett]

I have 2 slipped discs in my lower back which have been terrible (20 years ago) and then better (after facet joint injections). Lately my back has got really stiff during the night and getting out of bed is really painful, which gets worse if I don't leave the house. A few days ago I woke up and was in agony- couldn't straighten up, dull pain in my right leg and knee, can't walk, back feels like it has a 2 ton weight strapped to it. I don't know what I've done but I think my discs have moved or something- and they are now in spasm. It's been 4 days and I still can't move, and I live on my own. Chiropractor wants records from my GP (like I can get them!) before he will see me. I have been in pain like this for years and it was horrible. I was wondering if you have had this, how long it took for the pain to subside a bit? It feels like I have really damaged it and it doesn't seem to be getting better on its own. Painkillers and ice/heat don't touch the sides. Help!
