Courage in the face of challenge.

Lake with waterlilies
In my opinion, anyone dealing with back pain and sciatica symptoms or any health issue is courageous...

 Dealing with the pain , the medical tests, emotional and practical impact on your life, the hopes and the fears, the positives and the setbacks; possibly even surgery and picking yourself up and moving on...

 It requires a mental and emotional strength of being some of us may not have been aware that we possessed.

 It is not always an outward show of courage, it may not even be recognized as courage, it may not be noticed at all, but it is courage nonetheless. I think these quotes say it beautifully...

 "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow".

 Mary Anne Radmacher

 "There is nobody else like you, The more you can quiet your own thoughts,fears,doubts and suspicions, the more will be revealled to you from the higher realms of imagination, intuition and inspiration"

 Kenneth Wydro(American Lecturer)
"Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you Everything passes away except God"

 St Theresa
"Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate ones actions, courage that could be described as "grace under pressure" grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh unremitting pressure"
Aung San Suu Kyi
(Winner of Nobel Peace Prize)

 I read to help ourselves through difficult times we should focus on what you do want, not on what you don't want, have gratitude for the things you have, not wish for what you don't have, love the people who love you , do the things you CAN DO and don't worry about the rest. I learned that love can help to overcome fear.

 Also to never give up, keep striving for your solution and try to be at peace with yourself. Applaud yourself for everything you do that is courageous in the face of your pain. You are courageous and perfect.

Ten tips for driving with back pain and sciatica symptoms

When I had severe back pain and sciatica symptoms I found driving to be the task that was the most difficult for me and was one of the things that still caused me to get radiating pain down my legs even when I was so much better. I need to drive for my job, for a social life and just to get things done so I tried to work out what might be the things that would help me to be able to drive with the least amount of stress on my back. One of the main difficulties with the whole process of driving is that you are essentially sitting still in a fairly confined space for long stretches at a time with little or no back movement.  People who drive for longer distances can be at risk of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), dehydration, swelling of the legs, stress and fatigue in the muscles. Often one foot is more active than the other as you accelerate etc and one hip can be pushed into an unnaturally higher position for long periods of time. However there are things you can eas...

How To Use Back Pain Support Forums Effectively.

Back pain support forums can be very useful to anyone coping with back and sciatic pain.  However in order to get the best out of them, and contribute the most to them, there are certain points to bear in mind.  I have visited and taken part in many back and neck pain forums and have learned the lessons and tips that can help you make the most of it for yourself. In my experience you can learn such a lot from people on a back or neck pain support forum.  However you do need to tread with some caution. What does, or doesn't suit one person may be completely different for some one else.  You must also ensure that you never stop any medical treatment based soley on what you read.  The great thing is though that you may well be introduced to ideas and treatments you had never heard of which you can then discuss further to see if they would suit you. The most valuable part is simply sharing your experiences and gaining ....and giving support to eac...
