I woke up startled in the middle of the night due to back pain... I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the pain was so severe that I couldn't move. So I went to the emergency room, where they suspected a herniated disc. I was given just a narcotic painkiller for now and returned home. Then I looked for a clinic near my house... The doctor was elderly but examined me thoroughly. There were quite a few elderly patients waiting. The doctor suggested trying a nerve block injection, so after a quick X-ray, I ended up receiving the injection in three separate sessions. They also prescribed muscle relaxants. In particular, the nurses at the front desk are also elderly but are incredibly kind.
