Hi all..
In August I developed major pain on my right thigh,through my buttock..I have no back pain..and had been to my medical doctor and done xray and will see her on the 18th. This pain does not go away....been using ice and bed rest..nothing seems to help.
I can not walk,sit,or stand less than 10 minutes when the pain strikes.
Does anyone's deal with sciatica? My fitness on hold and miss my walking efforts. Any help is needed...thank you kindly.

Sciatica is often misdiagnosed. Pain is often misunderstood, it is complicated and will require more than just your GP.
I highly recommend seeing someone who specializes in muscle pains (often you can find a trainer even at the local gym who could help you and show you exercises to improve strength...) and work with them to find out exactly what is going on and how to correct it.
Also, I'm sorry you are going through this I have the same type of pain. There are a lot of muscle groups involved for me in a lot of places and I tend to make it worse with my bad habits. I have not been able to go to a physiotherapist (I've been to everyone else though, dr's and xrays and chiropractor and there is a guy who owns a gym who can help me when I am ready), I study at home and do what I can for now. Building strength and learning to breathe correctly and trying not to stop going. Even though lying down is the only way to escape the pain sometimes and even then it is not 100% gone. *hugs*
