Thanks, that was an interesting article. I'm one of those stress people with high adrenaline issues!

Great article. What drives me to sugary, starchy comfort foods is pain. If my sciatica is acting up, I don't want Protein, I want mashed potatoes! I usually just end up making sugar-free hot chocolate or eating 1/2 banana.

Starchy/sugary stuff has a huge capacity to numb feelings. Lab rats actually prefer sugar to cocaine. Sciatica actually has emotional roots.

Could you explain where you got your facts that Sciatica has emotional roots.s

Thanks!

Yeah, I'd like to know, too. I thought my sciatica was caused a ruptured disc that is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve which goes down through my leg. That emotional suggestion sounds bogus to me. Please tell us where that info came from. I am going to a pain clinic, not a psychologist.
