Sciatic pain and general aches all over?


Question:
I feel rather stressed and low at the moment owing to various problems beyond my control ie work, sister being ill, teenager being awkward and hubby coming out of forces next year. Every single thing seems to be worrying me at the mo. As a nurse i seem to be fine helping others but I find it hard to help myself and then end uo worrying and dwelling on things.
I have had sciatic pain for about a week now (had it before and physio seemed to nip it in bud) and also my feet and hands seems to ache as do my shoulders and all over! I have not got a temperature. Cant get to see the dic yet as no appointments.
I just feel so low and the aches and pain is making it worse. Do you think it's all interlinked? Am 39 and feeling very low and exhausted although i seem to sleep fine. Am not overweight and am normally healthy apart from IBS.

Answers:
It sounds to me like the stress is getting to you. As a nurse you will know that mental stresses can manifest themselves as physical illnesses. You mind is telling you to slow down and de stress. Get the sciatica treated and then try some deep relaxation or meditation to de stress. Good luck
sounds like life getting on top of you. Each symptom you describe is exacerbated by the fact that you are worrying too much, so the equation aches & pains = stress = more aches and pains = increased stress and all this will lead to clinical depression if you arent careful.
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, sounds to me as if you might be a bit run down, perhaps some Iron tablets or a tonic might help. hope you feel better soon, lol.
could be that there is something else causing the stress-
rather than stress causing the problems,if you dont get much help from your doctor,you could contact the private hospital below,for a more detailed examination of your symptoms
