Me. I've had it (and worse) lots and lots. With me it is always to do with slipped discs. I've slipped discs so many times, I've lost count.

It sounds like the sciatic nerve is having pressure exerted on it. Doctors will give you pain pills and possible muscle relaxants.

I've found physiotherapy hopeless.

My best relief is from seeing an Osteopath, and doing the exercises needed to keep things from seizing up.

Get help. With help, it does get better.

All the best, CATS2.

Hi Lorraine, I've had sciatica a few times and the pain goes from my bum, down my leg and tingling is because of the nerve being compressed,don't worry, it will gradually improve.

Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. Acute low back pain is the fifth most common reason for physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.
