Have any of you experienced pain in your hip, leg, or foot on the same side ?
My Mrs undergoes periods of sciatic pain. Generally put down to the nerve being crushed to some extent between vertebrae and disks. Short remedy she takes Voltaren tablets...More permanent remedy, she has undergone stretching exersises which appears to have helped somewhat.
Personally even at my age, I do not suffer from any type of back pain. Lucky? I put it down actually to having it drummed into me when I was an Apprentice, to always lift any load kinetically. ie bending at the knees, not bending your back! and not using your back as analogous to a crane jib.

Boss Lady gets that. Lidocaine patches help. Roll-on Aspercreme with Lidocaine is better.

Yep. Get to the source of the pain. You don't have to treat the entire nerve path.
I have some evidence on myself. Main cause is at the nerves exiting from the vertebral column into the formation of the bundle called sciatic tube (sciatic nerve ) . There is a stretch that alleviate the pain of the path.
Do you mean to lay upside down ?
What kind discomfort you have ? your hip , your shinn by your ankle or by your toes ?
Yes, My wife has done that. It works and is obviously a form of stretching.
Well, experience tells me the pain manifests itself in different regions of the leg depends which nerve is pinched L4 L5, S1 S2 S3, I grant you the whole Sciatica is a bundle of more then 12 nerves

So get a nerve chart and educate yourself on the areas that need the 'caine.
Thank you I am in the process , I have found some position to alleviate the discomfort. I just thought to post the situation perhaps might be of use to someone.
