This is a literal pain in the ass. Took me 30 min to get out of bed this mourning. Now I understand what Kafka meant when he wrote the Metamorphoses.

Having lived with …
Having lived with sciatica for most of my life, I never knew that the pain on the side of my calfs was to do with the nerve too. Mine is genetic as my mum and sister suffer from it too. Regular excercise does help as the muscles seem to hold the nerve better when toned. Thanks for the video, very informative.

I tried chiropracty, massage, epidurals, exercise, etc. If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, or whatever it may be, there is a really great read called “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT “about” anatomy in general. You can google his name they probably have the book at your local library. P.S. I’ve had 2 discectomies in the past – didn’t know better, and…yeah, it’s a really worthwhile read.

If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, etc., there is a really good book called “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys, without a doubt, the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT “about” anatomy in general. You can google his name. You can probably find it at your local library if you don’t want to purchase it. P.S. I’ve had 2 discectomies in the past – didn’t know better, and……..yeah, it’s a really worthwhile read.
