Dear Sciatic Nerve in Lower Back:

Flaring up right before Labor Day weekend isn't cool. I will ignore you. I will move in pain and make you rue the day you started up with me.

No Love,

there is a stretch i was given that is very good for that. you just find something around lower pelvis height, and lift one straight leg on it while standing. then you bend forward towards the leg. it worked wonders for me..it stretches out that area at the base of your spine

Demented answer: "Always have, always will..."

If it gets worse I may take you up on it...

Sit in a chair, prop your foot (of the offending side) on your opposite knee and lean forward as far and as long and as often as you can.

Take MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane - a natural analgesic that's BRILLIANT for sciatica) and ibuprofen.

Thanks! The stretching did make it feel better. And I will look for the MSM.

How will I every repay you? *wink*

Excellent! Glad I could help.

Got an extra brain sitting around that you're not using - preferably one with a photographic memory? ;)

I'll check the attic.

Thanks! I'll pay the shipping. :D

Bad nerve. It must behave by the end of the day. You need to have fun and relax this weekend and that is an order.:)

So sorry. That nerve has such "nerve" acting up on you, during a holiday no less! ;-) Hope you feel better.

I've got muscle relaxers and pain meds but you have to drive out(get your passport stamped) to get them. Doctor has me flat on my back for the next 4 days. (and not in a fun way)

:( Not good.

*hugs*
