Man This Sucks! Posted: 04-17-07 07:46am
i have sciatica
vaccuming the floor and picking up the
kids is agony. even when i sit down i get
sharp shooting pains in my left lower back
and butt cheek.
doctor says i'm really young to get
it and that i can't lift anything heavy
(haha- layla weighs about 30lbs!) it's
hard to get comforable on night cause it's
so painful.
my gp seems to think it will get better on
it's own. he gave me painkillers and told
me to come back in a fortnight if it's no
better

I have had it since I was a teenager.
Try to sit with the leg/bum that is
bothering you elevated. It won't
eliminate the problem, but it will help.

I know loads of younger people who get
sciatica.
it sucks and is super painful but it does
normally improve on it's own.
it's irritation of the sciatic nerve and
sadly the best treatment for it is moving
about - and that hurts
