Over the past 7-10 days I have discovered that the only way to keep my sciatic pain in check (pending that back procedure that I can't reschedule until COBRA gets their act together) is to spend 23 hours a day flat on my back. The only time I get up is to sit on the side of my bed to eat or to hobble the few feet to the restroom.
The drawback to this us that my knees ache more and, if I don't keep at least one of th bent at all times, the lower back pain really kicks in.
So.... Does anyone know how long it takes someone to get bed sores if they stay in bed all the time?
In a side note, the MRSA abcess that I have on the back of my left arm is finally coming to a head do I can drain it some and relieve some of the pressure from it. That helps relieve some of the pain as well. I probably need to get it looked at now but I may be forced to wait until my COBRA insurance cards arrive.
