Just like everybody else, I’ve been struggling with all sorts of ailments all my life. I have mild scoliosis – an abnormal, sideways curvature of the spine – which I’ve known about for the last 25 years. Lately, I've also started feeling sciatica pain, which I’m sure is something to do with my scoliosis.
Even though I know the reason, it doesn’t change the fact that I have nerve pain that has kept me up at night over the past half a year. On one particular occasion, I woke at around 2 am to excruciating pain, which was so sharp that I couldn’t stand or sit down, so I had to hobble around my living room until the painkiller kicked in.
