The sciatica diary from hell !

this is my daily struggle with sciatica pain and the exhaustion it causes


monday night , tuesday morning and day ......

Jun 12 2012

Well monday night i managed a little more sleep on the sofa but as usual sitting up as i cant bear to lay down still , i dare not even try to still . althou i didnt get a hell of alot of sleep i gotmore than i usually do , the pain is getting me down quite a bit still but im trying to see it as the old "its just back pain its not serious it might hurt but it wont kill me " attitude but hmm isnt working that well i may say . today (tuesday) i couldnt bring myself to move too much , the pain is getting quite horrendous most of the time and sometimes i just want to goto sleep cos then at least it doesnt hurt !! im going to go back to the doc and see if he can change my pain patch as i really dont get much relief from it all it just seems pointless wearing it as it does irritate your skin anyway , so im going to go back to the doc and see what else i can try ..... i just want to feel normal again but i just cant see it happening any time soon . i want to be able to walk without limping around and having to use crutches , and well my husband really isnt enjoying it either , when u keep getting the oh its just a bit of back ache ignore it speech when he gets frustrated isnt really supportive! but i no hese doing so much around the house and that just to keep up with things and im struggling to look after the kids during the time there home after school , its just getting on top of both of us . I never knew that sciatica and piriformis syndrome could reek this much bloody havoc on your life let alone your emotions . i think its time that i tried to get some sleep as its 1am now , lets see how tonight goes .......
