Sciatic nerve....

[Imoutgoodbye]

This nerve should be shot and killed....

EDIT: I should probably add, this is the second time in my life I have ever pinched it and while I am off work, I still have to lift my son out and into his playpen, crib, and highchair, plus scramble after him when he needs his diaper changed. I hate this nerve. Gives a new meaning to no pain, no gain.

My friend had sciatica so bad that she was using a walker. She is NOT an old lady. She found a skilled masseuse who took care of it relatively quickly. No more walker and no more pain.

It's quite a bit of pain, but I've found I can take care of it by myself alternating between laying on a hard surface (floor) while elevating my legs behind the knees with several pillows and stretching my back.

However, someone tried to tell me to put a heating pad in a trash bag, lay a wet towel over it, and go to bed like that at night. Yeah, right.

1. Never sleep on a heating pad. You're risking severe burns when you wake up.

2. Never mix the words "wet" and "electric".

But it used to be my second favorite target...
