Sciatica Support Group

Sciatica is a term meaning pain that originates from compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve in the body. If the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed (perhaps by a bulging disc in the low back) a patient may experience leg pain--the classic symptom of sciatica.

I would go to the er.
They are able to run test and do more than what your gp can.
They will be able to give you stronger painkillers and make referals.

i doubled my pain killers
Diclofenac sodium so its 100mg a time now

im in the uk ive been to what you call er
before and they say they wont do anything

go back to you doctor to refer you here.

ive been offered some kind of physio to look at me and find out whats wrong...but i had to push them to do it

but its nearly 3 months till anyone is free
so i have to wait

ive been ill 5 months and on pain killers

because i was so emotional about it all today
i just got lots of questions about my mental health
i just wanted someone to help me
,i just lost my job because of this
and they were asking no questions about what
could be done for me .

if i had let them continue they would have had me on anti depressants as well as pain killers
im this ad because they have not helped me at all
its no use fixing that with pills
just help me in the first place
