Sciatica Frustration

The average sciatica patient has endured a host of unsuccessful treatments including disappointing traditional medical and complementary practices. They might have received some temporary relief from a few treatment options, but their pain has returned every time.

Additionally, their symptoms have worsened over time and now control a substantial portion of their lives.

What can possibly explain why sciatica seems to be such an incurable condition?

Sciatica Frustration and Fear

Long-term symptoms always elicit fear, which also contributes to the symptomatic expression. After all, if the pain will not go away, then it makes sense that there must be something seriously wrong with you... right?

This is a very scary thought when considering the future health of your spine.

Sometimes, your doctors have an explanation for your pain and sometimes they seem puzzled. Regardless, they are powerless to stop it as it takes over your world, slowly, but surely.

Sciatica Frustration Solution

This was my own mistake for many years spent suffering. I simply listened to a variety of doctors and therapists who got rich off my pain and did nothing at all to help me. In fact, I now realize that their constant warnings made the pain condition gain tremendous power over me and my life. This is one of the many reasons why my sciatica almost stole my life away from me and I simply allowed it to happen.

Speaking of frustration.

I advise all patients to consider all possible sources of pain, when considering treatment options. Remember, the body is only a part of your health equation and the power of the mind figures into the mix to a large degree. Understanding the mindbody interactions is generally the first step in overcoming any chronic pain scenario.
