I am in pain, how long until relief?

Question
I have something wrong with my leg! My foot stays in a cramp, shin goes from numb to painful. Pain goes up to my hip at times. I seen a chiropractor who thought it to be a pinched nerve, then I went to my practioner who took xrays of my back and did a pin test to check nerve function (poked me with pins to see if I can feel it)  All came out fine so she thinks it is a muscle spasm, she gave me two weeks worth of steroids and told me to return if it didn't go away, also told me to get plenty of magneisum (sp?)
I started the steroids today, I guess I am impatient but would like to know when I will feel relief?  She also prescribed a pain pill that I can not afford.
Thanks for any suggestions/information you can give me.

Answer
Hello and thanks for writing,

I'm not sure what's going on with your leg & foot, but I would highly recommend looking in to Nikken Magents (I can send you some more information if you're interested) and you should also go to a Physio Therpaist or Sports Medicine Doctor who can help you with a regime of gentle Range of Motion exercises to stretch the muscles and increase circulation.

I hope this helps and I wish you well,

Margot
