I'm hoping for the best. Nine months of pain misdiagnosed, booted, medicated, finally dignosed as sciatica...we will see...Hoping for the best! Hurts to drive and walk. Trying Aqua Therapy and waiting on a shot. 

pain is strange
its range
you can walk

it inhibits
how fast
more than that

it hurts
now I get it
no one knows

but the soul
who lumbers
along

I look and see
all the other bumblebees
and my buzz

resounds
in my own
head

it’s not
that no one
cares

it’s more
that so many
are limping

you only notice
when
you have

the same
ailment
oh boy, age

is deranged
arrange yourself
in the lineup

point
  point
   point

what’s the point
“OUCH!”

Pain is a real pain. My wife had to get surgery for her sciatica. It worked. Good poem. Hope you get relief

Nothing is worse than a doctor misdiagnose a person's medical diagnosis. I always had good doctors so far. Hope they will find out what's really wrong. Hugs.

I am really, really sorry you are in pain! I am wishing that the doctors will know how to treat you! You make everything an art, however- a gift to us, your simple musings... but I wish it came from a "better" place. <3
