..literally. I wondered what folks might make of this. I started to get this faint burning in my right calf about four months ago. It's come and gone a few times then i got a numbness/burning in the other calf. About two weeks ago i noticed a deep ache in both buttocks when sitting down, particularly bad on one side. When i sit down i get a crampy aching burning feeling down the back of my thighs as well as the backside ache. I wake up in the morning with lower back pain but after applying a hot compress it wears off the rest of the day. I thought i must have sciatica. I googles treatment for this and saw some excercises. First day i did some hamstring stretches the numbness in my calves literally went and hasn't some back but the rest of the problems are not improving, ibuprofen works to some effect. Doctor prescribed me Naproxen but i stopped taking it after two days as it didn't bring any pain relief. He doesn't think i have sciatica as such as it's bilateral. He thinks i've injured my back causing muscular inflamation which is aggravating the sciatic nerve. However, i really don't have any pain in my back. Any thoughts. Thanks for your time.
