I'm worthless because im not really able to walk. I actually collapsed at work because my sciatica flared up so bad it's crippled me

It hurts so damn bad i can't even walk without screaming in pain. Im beyond worthless because i can't do anything. Im unable to move my left foot or leg because if i do it radiates pain so badly i want to cry. Im sitting in my car and it's still shooting pain everywhere and it hurts to breathe. I got no idea how im gonna get out of my car and into the house because it hurt to sit down

I had sciatica, not that bad but it was getting to the point where I couldn't stand for five minutes without my leg hurting or walk very far without having to sit down to change the angle. I tried physical therapy which made it worse. What cleared it up was acupuncture. It took about half a dozen treatments and I actually felt worse after one of them, but by the end it was fine. Your insurance might even cover it.

@LeopoldBloom i don't have insurance sadly. Is it expensive?

@SW-User Where I live, around $125 per treatment, but some providers have a sliding scale. If there's an acupuncture school in your area, they might have a program where students work on you for free under a teacher's guidance.

It’s a vicious cycle because you need to rest for that to heal but you can’t because you need money 😒

@DeluxedEdition pretty much and it's not like i have a cushy sit down job. With the way im deteriorating i wish i had one of those jobs

I am so sorry. This sounds no good.

SW-User

@SW-User There's lots a good stretching tutorial on YouTube to help with that.

@Iwillwait this is true I can attest that they helped me

Also you are not worthless your worth isn’t determined by your ability to work 🤗
