Has anyone on here suffered/is suffering from sciatica? I’ve had pains down my legs for several years. Some days the pain is manageable but at other times (like today) is quite debilitating. An MRI scan nearly three years ago only showed “wear and tear of the facet joints” - no trapped nerve or disc issue. I have been prescribed physio appointments on the NHS - group sessions every fortnight that we’re completely useless and paid for private sessions at two different practices. The last time (just before lockdown) I tried acupuncture and reiki. I have my own tens machine and a vibration plate which some people have found relief with.
Nothing seems to be working though. I would be interested to hear from others on GN about their experience of sciatica. Has anyone suffered from it? Have you tried anything that relieved the pain? Have you had it and is suddenly disappeared?
My OH suffered for years with a bad back. Sometimes he could hardly walk but all of a sudden one morning he woke up and the pain had gone. Has this happened to anyone else? I suppose I’m just clutching at straws to hope my pain will just disappear but has that happened to you?
