Pain is not fun

Ok, I am not being a baby here. But I am actually afraid to go to bed. When I lay down my sciatic nerve goes nuts and I get such pain from my ass to the top of my foot that I just want to cry.

It is so nice to know that someone out there is listening! I have no idea what stared this particular pain, lord knows I have enough others! I only take the pain killers at night, I just deal with it during the day. Actually, it doesn't bother me nearly as much when I am up and around, it seems to only kick in with a vengeance when I lay down! It's kind of hard to keep yourself distracted when you are trying to fall asleep at the same time! lol! I'd be willing to try the Lyrica, but I'd bet my right arm that Medicaid won't cover it. It's too "new". But the Doc might have samples, so it could be worth the trip. Again, thank you so much for listening and responding, It feels good not to be talking to an empty void! :-)

Actually, the pain has been gone for some time now, thank whatever God(s) you choose! I must have pinched or pulled something, I guess. It lasted for about two awful weeks and then just sort of faded away. But if the juice is good for arthritis, I might just give it a try! As long as it isn't TOO pricey!
