Fiance has a herniated disc and I'm trying to get help.

Hello everyone. My fiance needs your help. Over 6 months back, I had taken her to the ER for severe back pain. They took X rays and an MRI, diagnosed her with a herniated disc (didn't specify where exactly), told her to set up an appointment with a chiropractor. Then wrote her a painkiller script and she was discharged. She followed orders, and has been seeing the chiropractor for six months. She goes in, he does his thing, and 15 minutes later she's out and sore as hell. But, we figured that was just part of the process.

So, the other night, it flared up again after work (she works as a home health aide, so lifting is sometimes required). She was in tears. She took some ibuprofen that night, and several hours later it finally subsided enough for her to fall asleep. The next day it flared up again. Ibuprofen did nothing, so I took her to the ER. The doctor "diagnosed" her with acute lower back pain, gave her vicodin and flexiril, and gave her a referral to the local spine specialist, whom also is the only one in the area that accepts our insurance. This was on the 30th of July, and she can't get in until the 13th.

She's in tears several hours every day, and it's even gotten so bad she's told me she wishes she'd die because the pain is that severe and that constant. She is also now out of pain medication. I called the ER to see if they might call her in a refill, but they refuse, saying she has to see the spine specialist, they can't do anything more.
I can't stand seeing her like this anymore, guys and gals. I'm doing everything I can, but this is killing me. Is there anything I can do to help her? Anything I can give to her or do for her that can help her get through the next 12 days? Thanks for taking the time to read this huge wall of text, I appreciate it.

She's now telling me most of her body is numb. Is that the medication or should I start worrying?
