I am going insane. I have a pinched sciatic nerve due to misalignment in my back. I cant really work, I cant really do anything outside, I have been reading at night which is nice but during the day I am sitting on Tman and FB hitting Refresh. Any ideas on something more productive someone who is bed/chair bound can work on?

I tie flies,, good time to open the safe and clean guns, clean up around the house, (I truly hate that), play with the Beagle, watch movies/TV, pay bills, ( hatred 2nd only to cleaning house), I use a library 'puter so that's out.

(It's a real drag when I can't get back to sleep after the 2-3am whiz)

Could try arrow making.


You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Ride horses, look for Mushrooms,hunt,trap,read. I have almost no artistic ability as far as painting or drawing is concerned. I am hoping I am better by this weekend, at this point I cant really bend over or do anything. I do not care for computers or tv outside of using the computer to read and interact on forums/social media.

I do have netflix, can anyone recommend anything on there? I am hoping this gets better soon, I am only 29 and not used to being down and out yet.

Not trying to be a smart butt here, but try getting on the floor with a tennis ball under the tip of your hip bones and fix that pinched sciatic . Start with a flat footed squat until your back muscle stretch out and relax.
Fought this pain for years with chiropractic help. Now I do it every morning religiously by myself. Been a life changer.

Thank you, I will try it. I went to the Chiropractor this morning and it did not help, he said it seemed as though it was not a disc injury but misalignment and it was to stiff for him to do much, I think will go again tomorrow and hope that something gets better.

Educate yourself for a new hobby.

Read up on beekeeping, gardening, woodworking, or whatever. I joined a beekeeping group on Facebook for Ohio and am learning lots through the conversations on it.

Brass prep is a hoot. Tell ya what. I send you my fired brass and the stuff I pick up at the range. Then you can cut the primer crimp out, re size them trim them to length tumble them chamfer and de burr. then send em back to me, so they don't clutter your place up. You are going to love it. crazy

Learn to homebrew. Or to make wine. Learn to cook a meal for your family.

Learn how to make cheese.

It would go well with your whine.

Brush up on knife sharpening. Something that I find relaxing and satisfying.

Winner winner chicken dinner, I think I will try and do some homemade wine.

I will assume your last line was in jest.
