    Have you considered a Filipino masseuse? Just make sure you avoid the Chinese ones!! Their method of treatment is barbaric and only makes the pain worse.

    You are so adolescent.

    Guess that's why I feel so at home here...

    Oh, my back's feeling a lot better since starting this thread. I knew you wouldn't let me down.

    Hi Lenny, take it from me that I know precisely how you are suffering & it really isn't any fun

    My back has been stuffed since about 1990 or just before, sciatica is the easy bit as far as I'm concerned.

    Yes I know it feels like someone is attempting to remove your leg while you happen to still be alive & conscious. But I find the occasional bout of sciatica far less problematic than having to literally lay down damn near 24/7 to get any relief from back pain.

    Once you have been on your back for six months in one session, the sciatica soon becomes much easier to deal with.


    I can also recommend Naproxen, I'm on it every day as well as Omeprazole to prevent my stomach from bleeding due to constant use of it & 30/500 Co-codamol, 2 tabs 4 times a day - every day...

    Along with the Lisinopril & Simvastatin I reckon I damn near rattle in the mornings


    Hope you get better soon chap, I wouldn't wish back problems on my worst enemy..
    Bests, Mark

    I have to laugh. The pain is so intense at times, that walking is impossible. In the past I've been forced to crawl on all fours. Of course, at the time it is terrible, but retrospectively...

    Until you experience it, you just don't realise how sodding painful it is. The longest I've been laid up is about two weeks, and that was a decade ago. Nothing like your six months.

    I'll see how the rest of the weekend goes, and then book to see the GP.

    Laughing is the only way, I reckon if I didn't, I'd go insane at times

    At least I get to read a lot of decent books


    Here's hoping things ease up for you soon.
