Thanks!
Meh...it's not better today cause I had to do a 360 mile round trip in the mouse car in about 8 hours, with no sleep since yesterday!  I'm doing some ibuprofen and some baclofen and some tizanidine and I am going to BED! Hopefully when I wake up I won't be a pretzel!

I've found that driving makes my right knee/leg hurt worse than anything else I do. Even a short trip to the grocery store is painful. Sometimes I get out of the car and have to just stand there for a minute or two until my knee decides it's ready to walk. I don't know how you stood it as long as you did. You're a trooper! Get some rest!!

You might try sleeping on your back with a couple of pillows behind your knees, or on your side with a pillow between your legs. This always seems to help me some. Massage is always good! Everyone has given very good advice. Sciatica is MISERABLE!!! It effects your state of mind nerves as well as your literal nerves. Hope it goes away soon!

Hi River! Sorry your in pain, ya I know it and I am still trying to forget it. As strange as this may sound? I slept for almost seven months like I was sitting in a chair with my back on the floor and my calves on the couch.
The only way I could get enough relief from the pain to fall asleep. herniated L-5 disc, intensive physical therapy during the 7 months seems to have helped. No surgery and no real problems since. Felt like I had been stabbed, from the top of my butt to my left ankle.

Thanks everyone!
 It's MUCH better! I've been doing the exercises that I was given during the first bout a few years ago and it has helped. It seems to have eased up, not so many aaaAAARGH moments where the pain shoots through the knee. I'm just going to keep doing the exercises even when it lets up completely, and maybe it will never come back again!!! (I hate "exercising". I stretch every day before I get up and just go along with my daily activities, walking and working and doing what I normally do. I figure if I can't get enough from that, then I am doomed anyway! I don't mind swimming, but the whole "exercise" thang just bugs me and I hate having to add them to my daily routine!)
