I am convinced that living in pain changes a person. It’s been 4 months since my sciatica pains started eating at my soul. Some people think I am angry, others think I am asshole, but I can’t help being short with them. I have no problems with anyone; I am only trying to survive. All my concentration is directed at walking, sitting and living. I have no more time for critical thinking. When my wife asks my what I want for dinner, I snap at her. This is done only because I have no mind left to focus. The drugs fill my mind with fog; the consistency of pain is depressing.
So, what is next?
Well I am going back to the chiropractor on Tuesday. The doctor will not give me any more drugs without a MRI. I already know his intentions are to operate. I am also going to also try to swim a little. I think the low gravity point should help a little.

Chronic low back pain does make living life very challenging, not only for the person with the pain, but for those around them as well.
I’ve got some tips up at my blog that you may find useful regarding low back pain.
