Hi Everyone.....
Haven't visited here in a while! which is a good thing, but something always seems to make it rear it's ugly head once more.
Just before New year i did something to my back stepping out the shower. Went to doctor who said i'd trapped a nerve, the next few weeks it would come and go, but there was always a niggle there. It is now constantly on the right side, sometimes lower back pain but always a tight pull in the buttock going down my leg to just above the knee. Have visited the doctor again who now say's i have sciatica and has refered me for physio. Well as you know with HA after nearly 3 months of this i am slowly starting to convince myself i have something dreadful and with Jade Goody im in a bit of a state. I really just want to know does this sound like Sciatica? can it go on for months? is lower back pain common with it? and iv'e had a lot of groin pain with it also, like an ache or pull...is this normal? I also suffer with IBS which i can get back pain with and pain under the ribs like trapped wind and im constantly going for a wee which i don't normally do. a combination of the two is driving me mad, please anyone out there that has or has had this reply to my thread and let me know if this symptoms are all mormal.
Thankyou very much for reading. sorry it was long.
