Sciatica Diary - Work+Pain+Writing+I like to keep venting.
It's August 28th. The sciatica started on August sixteenth.
I have to admit figuring out a sleeping position is challenging. A doctor insisted (one of multiple who I spoke to) muscle relaxants would not help but in reality, at least for me, they actually do.
I'm honestly so glad lmao that I saw more than one doctor because I wouldn't have known that the first one was kinda, well, a crappy one π
I've always been a fighter and a huge rebel and right now is a massive rebellion against this pain. I mentioned in my first (of five plus) sciatica posts that I still have a massive plan of moving to a different continent?
Guess what? Right after the sciatica wrench, another wrench was tossed into that plan as well.
But I haven't missed a single day of work since the sciatica started. There's pain. A lot of it. Physical and sometimes even more emotional.
But I will do exactly what needs to be done.
Also I'm glad sciatica doesn't affect vocal cords. I have a friend helping me add musical components to old songs I've written and they shall all be released publicly as *actual* finished and mastered songs later in this year.
So gymnastics will be out of my life for I don't know how long but I literally don't care; it isn't stopping the rest of me from moving towards the targets and all the goals I've set for myself.
The pattern in my life is there's ups and downs and highlights and painful times but I've always gotten what I wanted via sheer determination.
I don't see that stopping.
