Leg Labour

I have been battling sciatica for the last 12 days, 2 trips to the doctor later I'm back to work, but still feeling as though my leg's about to give birth to a bouncing baby boy. Seriously, I haven't experienced this much pain since childbirth and that was over a lot quicker. I can't sit, stand, lie down, or walk very long before the pain starts again and I have to stretch, pace, sit down, lie down, and try to get the clenched muscles from my hip to foot to unknot themselves. It's starting to literally drive me slowly insane. I find myself rocking, groaning, repeating pain... pain... pain...like a mantra. J's probably so sick of hearing it. Piled like a cherry on top is the frustration  that I can't ride my bike!

Yikes. That sounds awful. Sorry you have to go through it. Have they found nothing to give you relief?

Feel better soon.

Oh man, the only thing worse than pain is pain you can't DO anything about. I hope you feel better, at least well enough to ride!

Oh my goodness girl...just told my friend the same thing! "my husband has to be sick of hearing about my shoulder pain!" I have been to a chiropractor, doctor, now a physical therapist, and maybe an ortho. surgeon next. Just want to feel well again.LOL

So I feel your pain!

I also have problems with my sciatica too...they gave me stretches to do and turns out I needed a lift in my right shoe? Guess I was lop-sided. ha! Would have been great to know that like 7 years ago!

I wish you comfort from your pain...very very soon!!!!
