So. This is where I can safely vent. Because nobody that should be my support (minus my boyfriend, he’s my rock who actually listens.) is actually trying to help me. I have had chronic back pain damn near my entire life. Recently, it has expanded to severe sciatica.I am hoping to leave for Navy boot camp in November, but I’m so so scared that I’m not going to make it because of how bad my pain has been lately. I just started a new job that is very labor intensive and I’m literally working and crying every day because that’s all I really can do there. Sometimes I feel like I should just give up on life because it’s so painful to do anything. I don’t have the financial status sufficient enough to go to any type of medical professional and I don’t have insurance. I’ve tried literally everything; from epsom salt baths to using a tennis ball to massage it to yoga to heat/ice... I feel so hopeless and I could really use a glimmer of hope or something but this has been going on for so long 😞
