It's not easy to squeeze into that side! |
But either way, I woke up a couple days ago and my back hurt. Bad.
The pain is shooting down my side and leg. Not good.
Boyfriend told me I had to do this thing called "stretching."
Honestly how dare he.
So, I've been heating and stretching and standing and sitting for a couple of days now. Hopefully it'll get better soon. Sciatica relief tips, anyone?
I only get it once in awhile and my strategy is just to wait until it goes away. Yeah, crappy strategy I know. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteActually my advice would also be stretching (sorry!). Whenever I have a bad back/neck/shoulders I do stretches morning and night and it does wonders. I'm sure if I did stretches morning and night all the time I probably wouldn't get the pain to begin with, but I'm far too lazy for that!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I needed surgery for my sciatica!
ReplyDeleteStretching is stupid. I hate it. I don't know why I hate it but I do...especially because it works. So annoying.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sciatica subsides soon.
I thought Sciatica was the name of the newest SyFy space show, so I'm not going to be a lot of help here. Have you tried voodoo? Or opium?
ReplyDeleteStrengthen the core with leg lifts. Also when you pick anything up from a bending position always look up at the ceiling, that straightens the spine and avoids aggravating the problem.
ReplyDeleteI recommend rest and kitty snuggles
