Dh has had an awful sciatica flare up since Boxing Day. I took him to the walk in centre on the Sunday and it took us fifteen minutes to get from the car to the surgery, that's how bad he was. He was prescribed a boat load of meds and told he was unlikely to be able to work until he was pain free as he sits at a desk.
So for the past however many days he's been hobbling around the house and occasionally whimpering in pain. He's on a heavy duty painkiller and anti inflammatory as well as diazepam.
He reckons he's going to work tomorrow. I've told him I think that's ridiculous and he is being pig headed. He says that because he can walk ok and drive (he drove to the shop today as a test) that he'll be fine to sit at a desk and type for 8hrs.
Please tell me I'm not being unreasonable here. I think if he rushes back to work he'll fuck his back up even more and end up with more time off.
