Waiting on MRI - The pain is unbearable

I was only given a two week prescription at 75mg, so only 3 left. I see they're prone to abuse, but I don't have any history of that so not sure why he'd only prescribe that many.

I've been trying cold/hot showers but the pain feel internal, at the buttock and back thigh. I wouldn't know where to begin putting an ice or heat pack on, it's almost as if whatever is causing the pain is deep in there.

If I could even get a full night's sleep, my mind would at least be at ease. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've contemplated drinking a lot of whiskey just to pass out from the pain.

My heart genuinely goes out to anyone who deals with this regularly, this is cruel.
