sciatica

[blushingm]

has anyone any experience of it and can you give me any tips on relieving the pain?

I've been told by my gp that this is what it is - i've been in pain for just over a week - lower back and into my left buttock and hip and it shoots down my leg tio my nakle. It's either like an electric shock or like a hot feeling going down my leg and sometimes it feels kind if fuzzy like the feeling just befire you get pins and needles. Other than that it's a constant dull ache all around my hip/buttock/lower back/thigh.

he gave me naproxen and solpadol but they aren't giving me any relief yet and it's really getting me down. so any help would be so much appreciated

TIA

That is the trouble with all these things ,i too ended up paying to see the chiro as it would of been such a long wait to see someone on the nhs.But i was desperate for relief from the pain.I would get up in the morning and think "oh the pain has gone " then ten minutes later it would return with a sickening thud.I used to be sick with pain and often ended up in tears.As i said earlier having a baby would of been better,at least when the baby is born the pain goes away.Hope you are feeling a bit better Op.
