If you have been coping with pain, stress, depression and emotional issues sometimes you need someone to listen

If you can talk to family members or friends then that is good but for many people, this is difficult to do or they may not have that level of support and it can be easier to talk through things with a trained professional. 

If you ever feel worried, anxious, suicidal or depressed, or just plain fed up with coping with it all do not sit there feeling you have to go through it alone.
There are helplines to listen and advise you like for example The Samaritans. Do look up the ones available in your country so they are ready should you ever need their help and support.

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.

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...
