You weren't on a Fentanyl patch, Nicki?
When I have bearable sciatica I'm inclined to regard it as being good for my spirit (I am not my pain), but it doesn't need to be that much stronger for the pain to be simply disabling, and an emotional burden as well. The problem with opiates is tolerance (of course!) and getting them at all. Pain is easier to bear if there is some respite from it.
