Petty the role and keep your-self happy and away form the thoughts. I now it looks funny but it help’s… also try some mediation in early morning with some breathing exercise like Pranayama…this will boost your moral and immune power drastically. as I have tried all the possible treatment I could with spending huge money….I suggest to try this..wish you good luck thanks once again….be happy. Thanks Sathish kumar India Hi Pete,

It's good to see such a broad view, along with the darker elements. I've always tried to believe there is a difference between pain and suffering. I've had chronic pain from sciatica for many years, but managed not to suffer too often from it. There have been times when there was suffering, but I try to keep my perspective. I've now had an unusual event with my herniated L4-5 disc. It burst and pushed straight back into the cauda equina nerves of the spine. As I try to recover from this injury, it is good to read all these words. They help me find ways to suffer less, even with the current pain and weakness from this rather nasty injury.

It made me cry. Your case was much worse than mine is. I don't have the spine problem you did, I have the piriformis syndrome. I've been working with a fine physical therapist to strengthen core muscles, and it's helping, but I still have pain. Haven't gone to a chiropractor yet, but I guess I'm willing to try. I will try the oil=based B vitamins, maybe the inversion table. Thanks so much for your post. Jeanne Chad, I loved your posting. It made me cry. Your case was much worse than mine is.

Illness reflects different kinds of physical and other imbalances and also a need for greater self-awarness. To relieve or resolve ills, you need a sense of how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interconnect. It helps to take steps to raise your awareness of why you feel as you do in particular situations. When people experience disconnect, they may not even know. When a person expresses negativity to someone for something, anger or frustration may actually relate to another situation completely. Until we become aware of why we feel as we do and deal with it "in the here and now," repressed or ignored feelings reverberrate and disrupt other aspects of our lives, be it relationships, health or other levels of well-being.

I too have sciatic nerve pain and 2 buldging disks in my lower back (I think it is L4 and L5). I have been dealing with the buldging disk issue for about 10 years and chiropartic and acupuncture and that helped but now I have the sciatic pain on top of it and it is really wearing me down. (Not to mention the pain in my neck and shoulders that no one can seem to give me a reason for- sometime I think my spine and muscles hate me) I noticed you were given Formula 303 and I have been thinking about trying it but I havn't been able to find much info on it. How has it worked for you? Have there been any side effects? I am so tired of taking ibuprophen for pain and although my doctor has given me scripts for pain meds and muscle relaxers, I don't like taking them because of the side effects. I am just looking for something that will help me without making me feel like a zombi. It sounds like we have something in common.

(I'm learning now that you don't necessarily have to have a physical problem to cause sciatic pain. The emotional body can manifest pain in the physical also.) Realize that pain is compressed joy. And, if your movement is effected, think of areas in your life where you want to move or do something different and are holding back out of fear. If you're feeling guilt and exhaustion, those definitely don't support you in the moment. And what you need to do is address them when they come up. Guilt is just second guessing yourself and punishing yourself for it. It is in the past. You might want to tell yourself that when guilt comes up.... "I'm feeling guilt now and it's my same story of blaming myself. I'm not wrong for feeling this way and I am changing this now." I'm guessing that when you feel the guilt, you're having a reaction to it (that's the heavy feeling). You need to work at cutting off the reaction sooner so when you feel guilt, it's very simple("Oh, I'm creating guilt now, That's the story of the past I like to bring up." And that's it. The guilt vanishes. Without the reaction is it much easier to shift your focus away from the denial. Exhaustion. Take a nap. If the body is tired, give in, surrender, and take a 20 minute nap. It does amazing things. I play with exhaustion all the time. If I can take a nap, I do it right away. If not, I will slow down my thoughts, breathe and fell the moment I'm trying to push through.

I am in pain too - I think it is stemming from guilt, exhaustion, a need to be free and truthful with myself and the people around me... What do I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Clicked on your link on Pavlina.com - I just picked up a copy of Caroline Myss' Anatomy of the Spirit, which goes into much detail about the emotional/physical connection through study of the chakra, sacrament, and Tree of Life systems. The book literally fell off the bookshelf at the used book store and hit my head! LOL I just started it, but it's very informative - a tiny glimpse can be found on her site: http://www.myss.com/chakras1.asp And, there may be more there, as well - just went to her site for the first time, too. Hope there's something useful for you there. peace, peace, and love ~ Hey, Dharma!!

I am no stranger to back pain. I was plagued for eight years with server chronic neuropathy (stinging, stabbing, pins/needles and nerve pain I could not even explain). The pain started stabbing in my heart and then after the first couple of years the pains started migrating to other parts of my body. Every few seconds my whole rib cage would just start stinging/burning & stabbing, my eyeballs stung, my tongue would sting, my bones would hurt(dull pains), as well as every other part of my body from head to toe. The pain was mostly sporatic(out of nowhere) and it would sometimes pulsate or stay in a certain area for a few minutes. I thought it was because of my spine (due to crushed nerves in my spine). Every main stream doctor/specialist could find nothing wrong with me and gave me many medications to try to see if anything would help and would you believe it none of it worked at all! A spine specialist and sports pain doctor said all my x-rays and mri's came back normal but I was mental because I was experiencing these insane pains. Every online about nerve pain was pretty grim at least in the medical route(pain killers and other hard core drugs for the rest of my life no to mention the 101 possible side effects). After several years and trips to the doctors and as the pain got more intense and more frequent I started to get hopeless (suicidal) and I'm a 28 yr old Christian man with 3 young kids. I for several years cursed God as I was losing my personality and my mind (my friends and family were worried about me because I was not acting goofy anymore and was very quit) because I thought he could care less about my situation. I then turned back to God knowing that this was a test of life and believing that He was going to led me thew this painful situation and use me to be a testimony for other people that are afflicted with this horrible pain. I began to pray that God would direct me to a natural solution that did not have 101 side effect. 3/1/06(date) He first guided me to a Christian Chiropractor(chiropractic care can help almost any condition from asthma to nerve pain to allergies to migraines I know many people who have gotten help. Find a body by God chiropractor close to you) which said he thought that my problem was my spine, I started treatment with him and for the first three months the pain got way more intense although he helped me with bad breathing problems that I was having. At this time I believe that God was telling me to get an inversion table to help my painful condition. I then got an inversion table and stared to use it for a month with no success. I then started to doubt God's advice. Then He implied that I break it back out again and force my spine to stretch with my arms. Around this same time I got a new type of oil base b-vitamins(your spinal fluid contains a lot of vitamin B-1 and B-12 for nerve transmit ion). I took them at the time I started to force my spine to stretch. About three weeks after forcing my spine to stretch 3 times a day my spine popped loudly about 4 times(several time small pops), and would you believe about 2 weeks later the pain that plagued my body for eight years was about 80% less intense and frequent. I now have my personality and sanity back and I feel awesome thanks to my chiropractor, oil base B vitamins, and mostly God and my inversion table! Keep seeking help its out there, some times you have to found your cure your self. Never lose hope, I almost did and if I would have given into suicidal hopelessness I would not be here today enjoying my awesome family and a successful plumbing business! I give all glory to Jesus Christ, God whom designed a awesome creation in me! Seek help for your condition with God in prayer and you will found your deliverance!
