Harold Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I will be off line for a few days, (well, mostly) I have been dealing with a sciatica pain for the last two weeks. I haven't been able to do much, but I have been ordered to take at least three days of totally off my feet to see if that helps. Off to the horizontal. Later Peeps.

Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I hope you get better soon Harold. I had sciatica and wound up having surgery. Helped a LOT. Hopefully you won't have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 20 years ago I had a double Laminectomy L2-L3 and L4-L5. It changed my life for the better ever since then. Evey now and then I over do things and start getting pains in the legs again, but that's due to L3-L4 also being herniated but not bad enough to do it too. Well, add in the Spinal Stenosis I now have from scar tissues in those areas. Just take it easy, get an iPad to hold in your lap and enjoy life. Lots of Ibuprofen, Ice packs and Scotch really help too. A good dose of Lortab also helps. The week before my surgery I was shooting a wedding for a friend. I was taking two Lortabs and chasing it with Scotch and barely felt any relief. A week after surgery I went cold turkey on the meds. Doc could not believe I recovered that well. mpk and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Best to you Harold, as learned from Youngtiger1 here, the technique of Bowentouch is specific for it. Let us know when you're on the go again.. mpk and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A good chiropractor helped me enormously. That & industrial strength painkillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
