I have been in absolute agony for days now and in surviving on ibuprofen and very little sleep.
I had sciatica before and used a foam roller to ease the pain and am doing the same this time but it's so intense I am in tears.
I'm moving about, still going to the gym and keeping active but the pain is literally driving me crazy. I'm stretching with my knee pressed towards the other shoulder. All I feel is throbbing down my thigh, back of calf and my foot
Has anyone any tips on how to relieve the pain? Would physio work?
I think physio triggered this though as I was with a physio last week for a hip problem and the sciatica flared up a few days later - maybe a coincidence but I hadn't had it since December last year.
If anyone could give me any advice to help ease the pain or tell me what pain killers work best (as ibuprofen feels like I'm eating smarties) I'd be very very grateful.
