Hey Judy,
I can feel your pain. I had a bout with sciatica about two weeks ago, I was taking some motrin and using hot moisture heat for I don't have an heating pad. I did call my PT and she said give it another week if you still have it come in. Thank God I am feeling much better, they say it comes and goes. Wonderful..lol Another suggestion is to sleep with a pillow under your leg . It helps.. hope that your feeling better.. hugs.. |

Thanks! I do feel better. I laid on the couch for a couple of days, and at some point, I have to walk it off, which is what I'm doing.
I have always been really careful with my lower back, and had no trouble. Now that I'm older, I can see why I did that! I should probably go for PT and some back exercises.

Gosh Judy...I'm so glad you're feeling better. Not sure I like the idea that it comes back every now and again. At least you know what to do and can head it off at the pass so to speak. If ever it doesn't go way within a reasonable time...then please seek help. I don't want anything happening to you.

Judy! I don't know how I missed this. I'm so sorry about the sciatica - I've never had it but known several people who have. It came on suddenly in a friend of mine and she didn't know what it was and ended up in the hospital in traction!!! She went to PT and has not had it since, but she does her back exercises religiously.
Hope it stays away - no need for such nonsense, huh!

It has subsided for now. Thanks girls! They always do say to rest and I am lucky that I can do that. I do have to learn some exercises as a preventive measure.
I'm sure I can find some good ones online.
