Not even seen a proper doctor mate just had phone calls off one doctor who has put me on norltryptine and got a call yesterday from the doctors receptionist telling me to book an appointment next week to discuss my blood and Xray results as the receptionist said they had found some abnormalities in the blood this is after the doctor told me last week they had just found a slight viral infection.

Can be a pain in the ass with a GP. Newt time you have a flare up try and trigger piriformis pain, look on YouTube how to do it. It's less common than sciatic pain from a bulging disc but is mistaken for it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had sciatica for years mate been on a traction table that was very good, had epidural injections but my first line of attack is stick a bag of frozen peas on it for as long as you can bare, then swap it for a hot water bottle, a couple of times a day does wonders 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely works in the short term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
