I hope it gets sorted for you soon, hun. Big hugs xxxHi everyone, I've been rather absent from here cos of issues at home. Water has been coming into my kitchen since last Saturday but I wasn't able to report it til Tuesday cos of the bank holidayA workman came out on Thursday but despite doing a thorough examination he couldn't find where it was coming from. He thinks the drains are blocked up because the students block next door is having some extensive building work done to it. Unfortunately he didn't have the right tools so he's arranged for another workman to come out groan! In the meantime I daren't put a wash on in case even more water comes gushing out, so I'm having to go to the launderette which is costing a fortune!
Suffering is suffering Vicky now matter how much it is non of should be suffering but it's part of our lives now one way or another and if I could take your pain for you Vicky and any of my friends on here I would without hesitation .I shouldnt moan as I know Ron and others suffer more. I'm thankful for co-codamol support. Sometimes it relieves it totally, sometimes co-codamol just takes the edge off. Better than nothing at mo.
Friday I forgot to take pain killer sooner and I cried all the way to our local park. I was determined to get kids out in sunshine. Good job I did. Its rained ever since.
Funfair trip tomorrow might have to be rethought if raining.
The last time I had a really bad bout of sciatica I was still working and - fortunately - had BUPA health insurance as part of my salary package. I went to see a consultant and they sent me for a course of hydrotherapy, which really helped. I don't know how generous your GP practice is, but it might be worth asking....? Failing that, some gentle swimming and stretching would be good, as long as the water's not too cold (so I don't recommend a dip off Roker beach, LOL!). Public swimming pools are probably too cold to do much good, but hotels or spas keep their pools a bit warmer, so there might be an opportunity there if you can find a way of doing it... xxThanks @catherinecherub . I think I need to get my GP to try and allocate the origin. It's affecting my weight as less active.
That's interesting. I'm only getting it after been in a public pool. Time for me to find a decent hotel pool instead.The last time I had a really bad bout of sciatica I was still working and - fortunately - had BUPA health insurance as part of my salary package.

Most hotels will let you join their swimming club, even if you're not a regular guest at the hotel... (well, that's the case down in this neck of the woods).That's interesting. I'm only getting it after been in a public pool. Time for me to find a decent hotel pool instead.

Have no idea hun. GP surgery is two minute walk from us. Will have to see what the neurologist says . The prescription for the gabapentin was from the surgery on the advice from the neurologist.Will he go see the GP for his prescription?
Ron has said sorry for not replying to your pm , but he is not able to post on here .Oh for goodness sake, can the surgery not follow an instruction from the neurologist? Actually, scrub that question if your surgery is anything like mine the GPs and Nurses are great but every time I have a question they ring my surgeon. If I suddenly had acne they would ask my surgeons adviceI hope that Ron gets some answers from the hospital
