Sciatica!

[mickd1961]

Glad you're feeling better Mick, but consider yourself lucky that it's cleared up so soon, my attack lasted about six weeks.

I’ve had constant sciatica for 30 years Tony and I’ve learned to live with it but sometimes,like last week,I tweak it in a stupid way and really upset my back.

I’m lucky that it settles down to just being a slight pulling sensation most of the time as I know others suffer more constant acute pain.

Taken up running myself Mick - knocked out a half marathon yesterday in 2hrs 7mins, the last 2 miles ruined me but the legs today are surprisingly ok.

I would love to run more and a 1/2 marathon was my target but every time I step up my training I have a calf muscle problem for which the only cure is rest. Don't suppose at my age it's going to get any easier. It hurts a bit even when I walk but compared to the agonies of some.........

Sounds like you might need the services of a sports masseuse 923, although not in the current climate!

Typed out a fairly lengthy response and got thrown off this sh itty site as I went to post. Never mind, I'll try again when next passing through. All of the best Mick.
