I think I've suffered from Sciatica in my left leg on and off for years, but it's got pretty bad recently - evidently as a result of all the riding I've been doing.
I've been trying the stretches recommended here; and thinking that I should really be doing these regularly while the symptoms persist and otherwise after every ride (once I feel capable of getting out on the bike as it's pretty crappy currently).
I'd be most grateful for any other tips members might have for getting rid of this bloody condition; and while we're at it would anyone like to share their post-ride stretching regimes? I'm notoriously slack at this (at best the quads and hamstrings get a half-arsed tug) but especially in light of increased time on the bike can see the negative effects this is having on me (can't get within 20cm of touching my toes, for example).
