Going through an 'orrible bout of sciatica right now. It fu**ing hurts.
GP's give me a big bottle of something called *Methocarbamol* which
knocks it back a bit (enough to get to work and back at least), but when
my right arse cheek starts giving me hell - the pain rockets down the
right leg and continues on into the foot and gives me a right good
going over. All the toes on me right foot are numb as **** and it's
starting to piss me off.
So - all you docs on here....what causes this sort of downright nausea?
No sleep because I cannot get the leg/foot into any sort of position in
order to rest (wife is getting threaders) and if it wasn't for this big
tub of tablets (2 pills, 4 times a day) I wouldn't be able to sit down/
stand up or get through a day without yelling a hell of a lot.
Anyone tell us how to get rid of it? Next GP's appt is on Thursday,
so I'll see what they say. Had to go to Derriford A & E when it first
started.....pain was unreal for almost six hours. Had this for almost
3 weeks now and I would be grateful for any info you can provide.
(I trust our scablifters - I do...honest).
Yours Painfully,
