Oh my! I did not know what hit me, I didn't seem to do anything particular other than get out of the car in the usual way, and wham! I have been hit with this gnawing, aching, sharp toothache type pain that will not ease, I just don't know what to do with myself. Standing up is painful, sitting down is painful, lying down...you get the picture. I feel like Id like to just throw my leg over my shoulder....I have no clue why I feel this, maybe it is a natural instinct left over from caveman times

So I went to my G.P and came away with pain relief, But that just didn't seem to fit well with me. The pain is there for a reason, and surely pain relief just masks the pain, stops you feeling it, so exactly how will the problem get sorted and improved resulting in me being pain free, without the zombie drugs?

Fast forward to a friend of a friend, of a friend who had tried chiropractic treatment and they thought it was great. I did some digging around and heard a mixture of horror/ fear stories and some good stories. I decided to book and give it a go.... Immediatley the pain was gone I mean immediatley

I went back for two further follow ups, just to make sure everything was hunky dory and to be honest the chiropractitioner was very nice and that was it, paracetamol on day one of treatment, nothing since.

How amazing is that? why don't the medical doctors recognise this? send people to these guys, I was back to work straight away, no long term sick, drug taking, using up more of doctors time etc surely it is cost effective in so many ways.

So, my advice if you have sciatica go and see a chiropractor.
