Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Sciatica is a terrible pain, I got it suddenly at the start of last November. Didn't know what it was just that the pain was awful. I stuck it for a whole month and try as I did I couldn't see my Doctor, All I got was a phone call with a new Doctor who had me down as a silly old woman with a wee bit pain and kept giving me painkillers. In the end after a night of agony I got an emergency appointment with a Chiropractor, I was with him for an hour while he questioned and worked on me. I felt so much better by the time I left, it's cost me a lot of money though as I was seeing him 3 times a week, then 2 times and now once a week. Hopefully by the end of April it will be fortnightly then monthly.Sciatic Pain is no joke, I still get bad days and it's now five months since it came on me. Go an see a Chiropractor, I owe that man so much, he took my pain away and made me feel like me again.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Thanks everyone, I think it's muscular due to some heavy lifting in cramped conditions in the loft last week. I have, and do, suffer with sciatica occasionally and like you Roxy, have spent a lot of money in the past getting expert help. It seems to be the muscle in the buttocks that opposes the quads and as a result, after just fifteen minutes of running I was unable to lift my leg high enough to navigate pavements.If it's muscular it will take about 14 days rest to repair....If it's a damaged tendon it will be 14 weeks.....

Of course the proof of the pudding....Sciatica or tendon damage will take a lot longer to heal.....fingers crossed....

) it makes it easier to want to be out in the sunshine. Even with what I think is 'Piriformis Syndrome' it doesn't seem to affect my walking, so when I've finished on here I'm going to try a decent walk. With clear blue skies and warm sunshine it's making it very hard not to go out and do something.....

I was doing some heavy lifting in cramped conditions up in the loft last week and I think I may have damaged my piriformis muscle. I'm hoping it is anyway, muscles don't take so long to heal but tendon damage takes ages to clear up...Finger crossed...

I have to do something, I know that because I'm still overweight following my recovery post-surgery being about as complete as it's going to be by now.
As a result I've already started dietary changes as well cutting down the time I spend on here & on the PC in general.
I'll keep you updated on how I go.
