sciatica

[pinkkoala]

have been in pain for few mnths but now got so bad, more bum and back of legs rather than back, but pain worse than ever. Have appt at docs saturday morning, can you think of what i should say, i dont want to be signed off as we are short staffed, care assistant in care home, a 5 star living village.
Can they give md physio or does anyone else have any other ideas or how do you cope.

Physio is good for sciatica. How far down the leg is it? The nearer to then foot the worse it is.

Could be your piriformis muscle (work on your pelvic floor and gluteus Maximus for this!) or a disc or anything in between.

Get a good nerve pain medication and get stretching!

Its the back of my thigh and in my calf muscles and sometimes funny feet. What do you reckon gp will suggest.
The pain is making me grumpy most nights.
