Pain in the butt!

Bellybabe,

I like the idea of a nice, gentle swim. I will see how I go over the next few days and may well give that a try.
Right now I will take Jay's advice and go for a nice hot soak in the bath.

As for Ali's suggestion, I will keep my right hip and leg moving by delivering a swift kick to his badoobies as soon as he gets home tonight.

:twisted:

Poor you ecm, last time I had sciatica was when I was pregnant and painkillers were off the menu

I'd say, send Ali to the offy to buy as much "painkiller" as he can carry

If he's not too grumpy that is :lol:

Hopefully it will clear up in a day ot two...take it easy...but walk a lot :walk:

I've had this a long time ago and swimming along with gentle walks really made a difference. For those who can afford it, the Alexander technique works very well for any back / neck complaint. pricey though

Take it easy, get better soon ... and don't clean - I've heard this is the worst thing for sciatica :wink:

Thanks for the various tips folks.

I am armed to the teeth with painkillers etc. I will do some walking, bathing, I'll avoid the housework and Mimpty, I'll keep my buttocks well covered! :lol:

Poppy - you'd better hide under those brewery registrations. Ali's on the warpath!
:twisted:

[quote="ecm"]I'm just back from the doctors.

I have sciatica and it's very painful. :cry:

I'm signed off for the next two weeks and as I've been advised to keep on the move you may see me hirpling around Porty looking very sorry for myself.

Doc says it could be a while before I'm totally recovered from this. Anyone else suffered this or got any tips, advice, sympathy etc.?

Sorry to hear you are a bit under the weather ecm :cry:

What about a trip to Porty Swim Centre for an Aerotone Bath, might that help you :?:

Bob you've been there lately what do you think :?:

ecm, I'm suffering from sciatica at the moment too,indirectly that is. A work mate is off with it just now and I have been doing extra hours to cover for her. I'm not used to working a full day and I'm shattered !
Seriously though, I hope you feel better soon.
