Hi I’m another Kim. I have severe sciatica which comes on every few years. Fortunately, not too often, though I do have fairly constant back pain. I’m quite active and do PT, hike workout with a trainer, but when sciatica hits (as is the case right now), it seems that only an injection will resolve it. Unfortunately, I live in a fairly remote area with an overwhelmed medical system, so it’s hard to be seen by a doctor. I’m hoping to find an alternative approach to relieve the pain and related numbness etc. with my hip, leg and foot.

Massage is helping me with sciatica pain. This is therapeutic massage from someone skilled in sports massage, & pain issues. My PT had suggested this. But this might not be available to you in a remote area.
