The only other time I had it I did some stretches as shown on google. 24 hours later it was gone.
Not this time. Done all the stretches but that just aggrevates it.
I have been fighting a bad back since October and last Wednesday I thought I had cracked it and managed 9 holes of golf.
During the night I woke with sciatic pains which gained in strength. Yesterday I couldn't sit. Went to bed and found I couldn't lie down without bad pain......I hardly slept.
The pain starts top of my left thigh, goes down the back of my thigh then jumps to the front of the calf and then to the ankle area. It alternates between constant to throbbing.
The only relief I get is standing with my weight on the right leg.
Tried to get in a physio today but no joy.
Ibuprofen and Paracetamol have little effect. My next dose will be paracetamol plus Codiene.
Any suggestions.....this is really hurting and I cant get relief
