When my wife slipped in the bathtub, she went down pretty hard on her back. Worse yet, because she tried to catch herself, I think she even made matters worse. I decided, much against her wishes that we should have her checked out. Neither one of us knew if we were dealing with simple back pain or sciatica that returns to haunt her from time to time. The doctor says that she will be fine with some rest and some heat treatments. I am so relieved. We aren’t getting any younger and our health is very important to the both of us at this point in our lives.
