RE: How Do You Handle Pain?

in #journal8 years ago

Thanks Ben. In the past, I would just rest and try to get out moving again which seemed to help with the upper back issues (root cause: slipped disk injury in high school). That usually works and would only give me a problem a couple times a year or so. This was the first time I had sciatica / lower back pain. After many weeks of PT, I'm thinking the same solution (run, exercise, rest, etc) may be the way to go yet again. We'll see. If it continues, I'll definitely be getting additional perspectives and opinions.

While not inexpensive by any means if you have not looked into spinal decompression, that may also be something worth considering. Hell maybe you could write about the experience and get paid to do so to cover some of the cost if your insurace does not.
