Depression

I have been feeling depressed and stressed today because of a sciatica flare up which has been ongoing from yesterday. The feeling is terrible and scares me because it is spread out throughout my legs.

Today, I am resting but regret my activity.

Lying straight I think helps but I don't know much. I suppose massage or hot water bottle would help - or would it? Have you got support from doctor? It's in the back - the pain?

I use a TENS machine to help with Sciatica and they do help. You can purchase machines at many chemists in the UK.

I get mine on the Internet, normally at Body Clock, the machines are also getting better and the units now are much smaller

I hear ya...but do something for "u" to help distract urself from some of the intense pain.Even if its a favorite movie or music or cocoa,tea,coffee,etc.

Dont worry about regretting the activity..its done n u were just trying to live life...we all do it.

Sending a hug ur way..they really help 😊
