These are some transcribed experiences of folks that suffered with sciatica, see if you can find some beneficial information from their accounts: (all patient names have been anonymised)
Mr P:
I had been living with back and leg discomfort for many years. I had been existing with such agony that it I knew I had to try something different and fresh. It was after I'd helped my child move her things to college, that I awakened experiencing awful pain in my back. The pain moved down my leg to my toes with a nasty shivering sensation that refused to shift. In the following few weeks I went to Osteopaths, massage specialists, I actually had some sessions of physio. The best response I received was from not sitting for too much time and having my back clicked. Although to begin with that was quite an unsavory experience! Since that point, I've attempted my toughest to keep my back in good condition by doing regular exercise and stretching. It seems to work. This experience made me consider how crippling this condition can be. If I'd needed to do something in an emergency I might have struggled and that isn't something I need hanging over me, I'm sufficiently old as it is!
Mr A:
I used play rugby at college and I know lots of times I played through back difficulty. It was something in that industry everybody had to do at some explicit point. When I hit 32 everything seemed to change in my back. What was a low level ache became excruciatingly painful, particularly after sitting. Sadly I was doing a large amount of sitting in my youth to real job. It made work so difficult to the point I Had to take time off as the discomfort was literally tear engendering. One morning I sneezed and the discomfort shot down my leg, causing me being unable to stand! At that point I became desperate for a solution. I took many pain killers which got me back to work but did not stop the discomfort coming back each morning. I at last found a private physio who put me on a strict regime of exercise and hands on treatment. After 6 months I feel better. There is still a large amount of work to do, but I' m just content that I finally discovered somebody who could help.
