Sorry for your loss , people say it’s like losing one of the family but they are one of the family and for some their only family , Treacle is what I call my dog since she got old because she’s dark and moves very slowly unless food is involved , she’s 15 and a pain in the rrrs but she’s our pain and the thought of losing her kills me .
I have worn out my lower and middle back so I know both of your pains , I spend many a night laying on an ice pack or hot water bottle .
Hugs and hang in there x

Have you been given any exercises Nic?
The normal one is too lie on the bed, bring your knees up towards your chest with your arms cradling and fingers locked around the legs and rock from side to side.
My husband has pretty bad sciatica flare ups as well. His physical therapist had him buy something called a Tens unit off Amazon. It’s got these little sticky pads and you hook these little connector things to it. It basically sends these low level pulses into the muscles of your back, wherever the pain is. He swears by it, says it helps loads. I tried it on some ankle pain once and it didn’t help me, but he says it sure helps him. I hope you feel better soon!!
I had those glassgirlw when I had my bad foot too. Except I went to a treatment centre to have it. Knowing me I'd be worried I was doing it right and in the right place.
You have to be so careful with the back area as it can affect so many other areas.
I was born with a curvature of the spine and wasn't aware of it until I was an adult when my mum finally told me. I wish I'd known at school because I could barely do a forward roll in Gym class, it hurt so bad and you were forced to do these every week at school.
But I'm pleased to say after doing some very gentle exercises it has improved so much.
Nic I hope you find some relief soon. x
