Thread resurrection:- Over the past 12 years I've had periods of Sciatica, absolute agony a lot of the time. It's returned with a Vengeance a few days ago and I can hardly do anything for the pain. Hurts like Hell when sitting, walking or just a slight movement of my foot/leg/posture. Due to a recent Medication experiment, I'm not advised to use Naproxen (NSAID) with the new stuff. Does THE COMMITTEE recommend Bed Rest or should I try some gentle cycling, if I'm able, to try and shoo off the current episode? The last Bad one lasted about 8 weeks.
