Sciatica Ow! Overtime on top of it Grrrrr! Anyone have any suggestions? What worked for you if you have dealt with it? It's killing me. I can't sit for more than 30 seconds. Lifting my leg to clutch while driving is agony. Even laying down hurts. The only thing that helps is standing up but life requires us to sit too! I've had it before but it was on the right. Now it's on the left and it hurts in a whole different way!

Aw, I'm so sorry RW. I've never had it but it sounds so painful. I hope it gets better soon.

ouch! I am so sorry you are in pain.
I find my chiro helps me greatly when mine flairs up. Hot packs help, not sitting in one position for long periods helps. resting helps. stretching helps. Hang in there.

Ouch, sorry you are going thru this. I too get this;...really bad if
I sleep on my side. I get pain in my hip and my shin, and sometimes my knee. I use heat, it helps. Like Dej, this is when I take a trip to my Ddad's(he is a chiro). But heat really helps alot too.

Many years ago I went to a pain doctor recommended by my neuro. He found the source of the pain, which was an infection in my spine.
He gave me a shot of cortisone in my spine which cleared up the pain within 3 days. I have never had the sciatica again. gmi |
