Sciatica hurts!

gja1000 · 02-19-2011, 03:45 PM

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!

Hope you are feeling better!
I know how painful it can be... healing prayers sent your way!!!

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.

Glad you're feeling better Judy! My Mom and sister have had bouts with that! Hopefully you can find some exercises that will help relieve the pain the next it flares up. ~Hugs~
