O.K. ladies . I had a bad sciatica attack and went out walking even though each step hurt it did help I walked up the road and back about 1/2 mile was exhausted but after resting my back felt much better . I did have to ice it for the swelling but all in all if I can do it in that much pain You can too. So have a good walk breath the fresh air this will lighten your step

@lioness You are so brave! It would be hard for me to walk with a bad case of sciatica. I have that every day. Be glad to get the surgery over with and it's coming up fast. We are leaving Saturday. Love to you. Jeanie

@lioness, Linda, I am so glad your back felt better after your walk. Sciatica flares are painful to say the least but I have also found if I can propel myself out for even a brief walk it seems to bring some relief...maybe stretching muscles ? dunno ?
Sleep positions for comfort seem the hardest to find for me. Have tried the pillow under the knee/hip; changing the bed elevation. Do you have frequent problems with sciatica attacks? What seems to help you most?
