I'm with you on this George.
I had a really bad do a few years ago, the pain was immense and I was a only a nats cod from passing out. Had 7 weeks off work with it

Went to the physio and it helped a little and I was initially prescribed Diclofenac without which, I don't what I'd have done.
It's not been back since but, I do get the odd twinge now and again and, my right little toe has been numb ever since.

Take it easy mate, I know how you're feeling.

I know mate, not good.

I feel for you George, can't be easy.

Now there,s a job you could,nt do with Sciatica.

Ouch! Sciatica is really painful & debilitating, I've suffered from it for years, They sent me for back rehabilitation & pain management courses a few years back but I still get the trapped nerves in my lower back

Hope you're on the mend soon George.
