Hi Mimm, i read your post and feel so very sad. I sat down in December 2017 and the muscles in my beck became tight i did some yoga stretches and an hour later was in sever pain. I was in pain for 3 and a half weeks and slowly started to get better but, my back pain never went. i started physio in January 2018 and still have physio to date. I developed sciatic in both legs in May and have been in agony ever since. My right leg is the worst with awful pain from buttock to the side of my foot, my left leg it is mainly the thigh and buttock. I have finally been referred to hospital to see an orthopedic surgeon and hope to get a scan. I am on naproxen , gabapentin and co codamol but the pain never goes, the meds just take the edge off. I still work and sometimes do not know how i do it. Sitting is bad and laying down is bad. i never sleep well as wake with pain during the night. I hope i do not suffer for years as this is effecting all aspects of my life. x
Hi Amanda
It's horrible that one day your enjoying the best of life then next day thrown into hell !!
I want my life back so bad ,
Like you I dread going to bed the night is spent going from side to side that awful pain then to come to try and sit ,I've noticed my posture changing as I'm sitting strange positions ,
It has changed my life , my relationship ended and basically house bound , i lost my job , my personality has changed I use to be so happy and positive I no longer recognise my self ,friends have gone , so bi try to distract myself with stuff and read every thing about how to help it , come on here and read to see if anyone has any ideas, sometimes the exercises send me into worse pain ever do u can't win ..
I hope your not suffering too long and manage to get help ,your scan should show the problem and fingers crossed fix it for you ,
I think I have just fell into that place of seeing really uncompationate Drs who have been no help basically .

Hi Carla
I have an appointment with my own DR next week so I'm going to ask about those suppositories ,when I went to hospital last week during night for relief they gave me one and it helped take edge off but the nurse said in the UK they don't like prescribing them unless Ur in hospital as there's been investigated about heart connection??? But omg Ur right they did work and I'm still going to ask ..
I'm also arranging some accupuncture as I'm going to try anything ,including CBD oil drops so will keep all updated if anything works ,
Thanks mimmxxx
Hi Maggie
I don't care how long your post is I'm so grateful for the reply ,
It sounds really interesting the Hellaworks ,I would be greatfull if u update me on that , as my posture is out now as trying to position myself so to get straight would be perfect, also I'm trying the relaxation but on my own listening through head fones it's tough to stick with as the pain kicks in but I'm sticking with it to try it ,
I was very fit and into exercise everyday before and after work ,walked everywhere as I live by mountains and walked up them most days with the dog ..
now I keep my curtains shut as the mountain is behind where I live and it depresses me more ..
I'm going to try everything I can to get my life back ,thank you for replying good luck ,
