Sciatica AAAAAGGGH!

[Andy Collins]

4 days into my felling work, and the sciatica hits a nerve! Dam and blast tis a tad inconvenient to say the least! 8 days to go, hope I can work though it, feel too old right now to put up with it. shooting pain whichever way I try to move. Those of you with even more serious ailments have my sympathy right now. Be felling with a zimmer frame next:001_smile:

ive had it before. you'll be doing well to carry on with it, particularly doing that work.

 

you could always put your feet up by the fire and spit roast a nice hog whilst charlie does all the work?

[Paul Barton]

Ouch - sounds nasty Andy. Get yourself some strong painkillers!

[Stephen Blair]

do you use an ostiopath andy, they can work wonders mate

[Chris P]

Yeah I feel your pain Andy. I've been there. Laid up for a week

I go to an osteopath now and that keeps everything in check.

 

Hope you recover soon.

[Andy Collins]

Vodka?

[Chris P]

Yeah that works too.

[John Shutler]

get yourself a good physio, try stretching before you get out of bed in the morning and before bed at night, il see if i can find my old stretching guide

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Vodka?

 

.....and Special Brew. Joking aside Andy, try some stretching exercises designed for your lower back. Sounds like your discs are bulging and pressing on your sciatic nerve. Act now and try to avoid herniating/breaking any discs or you'll end up like me.....paying Mexicans to climb/fell for you!

[Stephen Blair]

get a hot tub andy, works a treat, you could boil your spuds in it too, i know you like your scran mate lol

no pun intended
