i went to my GP. he asked me to touch my toes and poked my back. he said “does it hurt when i poke it?” (me) “NO” (him) “ok push you hips forward, does it hurt when i poke it now?” (me)”YES!!”. (him)”Ok you have sciatica, ill send you for a scan. it will be about 4 months.”
thats all i know. other than whist I type this im in pain! (sitting up in bed)
he said to carry on as normal inc riding and working (heavy lifing and contorting my self through small gaps and holes)
