It seems to me like the whole medical profession is a big celebration of having an ego problem. Some doctors carry themselves with so much hubris it's hard to imagine some of them making ANY rational decisions at all, and all their processes, right down to how medical records are kept, seem geared around expecting obedience from the patient without revealing enough details for scrutiny to be applied.

Compare that against professions like engineering where a few notorious failures have led to the presence of cognitive biases in decision making being at least acknowledged to a degree.

It does.

But sometimes, it's also muscular on which case the chink bullshit may help.

The muscle tenses up more and more causing pain.

So you need to massage, relax the muscle.

You can do this with pain pills. The muscle falls asleep and breaks the circle of pain.

Or, you massage it and shoot it with electricity to make it tired and it stops tensing.

Sciatica is nerve related. But it affects the muscle around it.

I normally avoid taking pills but yes, in that case they are required to stop the body freaking out

Especially painkillers. I ve only taken them for my sciatica and one out of the three times I broke my leg dirt biking.

I'm avoiding substances over all. I used to even be afraid of coffee. Terrified about the idea of needing coffee to be myself, or even wake up.
