I really can't recommend it enough. Maybe it's because I was in fairly good shape before the injury, but after about 4-5 months I was almost completely back to normal.

Lost_All_Senses 10/19/20 12:35:46 AM #10:	You could get a dope ass opioid addiction for your back pain, like I did. 10 years and still truckin. Or you could not. I dunno. I dunno if it's worth it or not. But I need them to do anything. At this point I can take a fistful of them and go do what I need to without being impaired at all. But that's probably not a good thing. I can also go back down to a minimized dose and be content if I'm not doing anything punishing. But if you got a demanding job, it'll probably get out of hand when your tolerance goes up and you can't take breaks to bring it back down. Plus I have no exit strategy.

DDirtyDastard 10/19/20 12:38:42 AM #11:	yunalenne10 posted... Have you tried asking your doctor for muscle spasm medication? Muscle relaxers actually seem to help more than most over-the-counter medicine since a lot of the problem about sciatica is the muscles get so tight they agitate that nerve. That's what PT is all about, they help stretch out those muscles and get your body used to moving properly again. They talked to me about getting over that hump of moving in certain ways and the way they explained it was basically your body starts learning that certain movements cause pain and it develops a heightened sensitivity to those movements. I think one of the biggest myths about physical therapy is how painful it is. By the time you need physical therapy, you're already in excruciating pain most of the time, so working through it isn't any different than living with it. Then when you quickly start seeing improvement, it motivates you to keep going. <cite>DDirtyDastard posted [p:946021588] in What can I...
