Seriously painful. No idea why unless it was the bag os sugar beet. But was at the out of hours gp at 0100 and can barely move my left leg. Totally fed up
I have had no experience with sciatica but understand that it's very painful. Are you now on meds for it? What do the meds do (in addition to relieving the pain?) Is it possible to tie all these injuries to a common cause and somehow put together a program to avoid them? Are the doctors interested in such a discussion? Yoga, pilates, an anti inflammatory diet?
So sorry. I know how much that can hurt. Sometimes, sitting with a wedge under the sore side can alleviate some of the pain. Just put something under your seatbone on the bad side and see if it helps. Valerian, the herb, might also help relax your tensed up muscles.
Pain meds don't tend to do as much for nerve pain like that. *sigh*
