I have sciatica, and normally it doesn't bother me to much. About an hour ago when I was trying to clean, though, I had this horrible pain in my back right hip.
I tried my heating pad (a cloth bag of rice I put int he microwave for a few minutes) but for whatever reason it stung the first couple of times I tried it.
I tried to do things, but standing up from a sitting position even caused me a lot of pain.
I read on line that when one has sciatica pain, they should try to keep doing regular activities. I was trying, but it sure hurt!
About 20 minutes ago the pain went away for the most part. That was not fun in the least!

I hope not, either! I don't remember ever having pain like that from my sciatica. I hope it doesn't come back and bother you, either!

Thank you, Judy. My sciatica hadn't bothered me in a long time before that.
