I can take pain pretty well but sciatica brought me to tears. plus the neighbors could hear my shrieks of pain weeks on end. My cruel ex wife called me a cry baby and told me to fend for myself. So i also got a crash course on the cruelty and dark side of humanity that ill never forget.

They dont give pain killers out at the pain clinic either unless you are a woman. I dont know a single guy that was given pain killers from the local clinic. Instead they get those shots in the back that never work. Only option is the ER and thats 50/50 on wether they give any pain killers or not. And you cant keep doing that. Sciatica is hell. My sympathies.
