Sciatica is debilitatingI am after having 6 weeks of hell with sciatica...couldn't put on my shoes.
Bed is worst place to be.Pain killers and physio.Awful dose.Hope she improves.
Thankfully I haven't got it bad in years, as it can be circular....you have the terrible pain, so you stay rigid in one place where it doesn't hurt, but to get rid of it you need to move and get flexibility back in. The painkillers need to be looked at as a way to allow you move and get that flexibility in. Ponstan Forte/500 (mefenamic acid) were fantastic for me.
