How can I convince hubby...that camping is a good idea? I've had sciatica for 21 months now and despite physio, acupuncture, massage, steroid injection, drugs (of the legal prescription kind!), my husband is convinced it's a bad idea to go camping this year. We're due to go tomorrow!

I admit that I've been in agony for much of this year, especially from May onwards when the steroid injection wore off, however last month I changed medication and although I've gained weight (common side-effect and very very upsetting), the pain is so much more manageable.

He thinks that pitching a tent, setting up and sleeping on the campbed will make me worse, aggravate the pain and cause more damage.

Help!

Thanks! I'm thinking positively but he's just not convinced and has told me that if we go, it'll be constantly on his mind that the slightest thing could trigger a flare-up. I'm wondering if it's worth it this year as I don't want him worrying about me, he needs to relax as well. x
