Coping with SciaticaCoping with sciatica is an unfortunate state of events for any patient to endure. While most patients would rather cure their pain, some find this seemingly simple wish to be quite impossible. Instead, these patients slowly acquiesce to the idea of living in pain and learn to cope with chronic symptoms which really diminish their quality of life.
Learning to cope with chronic pain means different things to different people. However, regardless of how a person deals with their pain, there is simply no denying the huge impact that
chronic sciatica
has on their life. The most common method of dealing with severe long term pain is with the help of powerful pain management
drugs.
Pharmaceutical
symptomatic treatment
is the most widely used (and abused) therapy for chronic pain. Some patients use alternative pain relieving methods, such as
chiropractic,
acupuncture
or
TENS
therapy. Many patients have to drastically alter the way they live and might have to change jobs or even give up working completely because they are just not able to suffer through each long hard day with their unrelenting pain. The worst affected patients simply cope by
staying in bed
most of the time. This approach demonstrates a complete surrender to
sciatica.
It is never wise to simply accept pain in one’s life. The usual reason for ongoing pain which defies all attempts at therapy is
misdiagnosis
of the actual cause of symptoms. This is especially true for a treatment resistant condition such as sciatica, since the symptoms are often blamed on a mistakenly identified spinal
scapegoat
condition. Sciatica can be completely cured if the actual source of pain is correctly identified. Remember, that most
radiculopathy
conditions are actually caused by
ischemic
processes which are rarely discovered by medical professionals treating the pain.Learning the facts about sciatica will greatly help patients to understand and resolve their pain. It is important to break through the long standing mythology which veils the true facts about sciatic nerve pain. Once you can get a complete picture of why your pain exists and why it is so stubborn against treatment, the cure is just one easy step away using proven knowledge therapy techniques pioneered by some of the very best doctors in the back pain industry. Coping with Sciatica AdviceMy advice on this topic is super simple.STOP COPING and START HEALING. Trust me, I know it is hard to break the cycle of long standing pain. I endured constant suffering for 18 years. Each day, everyday, I was in pain and very afraid for my future. After a long time, the pain becomes another part of life and it seems to be around 24/7. I know how terrible this feels and I completely recall all the coping strategies I had to use in order to just make it through the day… However, there is a better solution and you have the power to cure your own pain. You must understand your diagnosis and question everything you have been told. 90% of all patients with ANY FORM of chronic back pain have been misdiagnosed and are seeking relief for a condition which is completely innocent and coincidental to their symptoms!!! You must take control of your own destiny and leave your coping methods behind. The future is bright and pain free for many of those who can harness the interactions between the mind and body to heal their pain completely. Once this is accomplished, there is no more coping need, since there is simply NO MORE PAIN… Coping with Sciatica to Sciatica 9/5/08 Revised 7/31/11 |
