53 yr f. has pain on inner left thigh near groin. Feels similar to sciatica. but is not. Had hernia surgery, but hernia was not cause of pain, since after 6 wks pain is worse. Frustrated and my GP is not much help. Not sure who to see next. Please help.

What medication would work best for back pain from standing for 6 hours?

I have flat feet, which results in back/foot/leg pain and fatigue after standing still for long periods of time. I do have orthotic inserts for my shoes, but that doesn’t stop the pain.
What kind of medication could I talk to my doctor about regarding such an issue? Something that can relieve or possibly numb the pain but keep me coherent during extended periods of standing still? (like orthodox church services for example, which can last as long as 6 hours during the week of easter)

How bad would it be to go snowboarding with a herniated disc?

So I have a herniated disc in my back and my friends are all going snowboarding and I really want to go! I know I am going to fall and stuff, but how bad could that screw up my back? I played tackle football with my sorority a few months ago and it didn’t hurt my back too badly (I didnt know it was herniated then and I’ve had it since september) Do you think my choice in going snowboarding is a bad idea? thanks!
