I am so blessed! Heavenly Father was looking out for me. He sent my neighbor over who asked if he could come over and use his snowblower on my driveway!!! Of course I said YES and thanked him immensely!! I sure love my Heavenly Father. He is always looking out for me. |

Oh Jason, I am sorry! I too suffer with sciatica and the last serious flare up had me out of work and barley able to move for almost 6 weeks! It was the most excruciating pain I have ever had. Unlike you however, the doctor would not prescribe me pain killers. He said they were too addictive and it was best just to use hot/cold packs and rest till it subsided. B*****d! Was probably The Marquis de Sade in a past life. Lol. Do take care of yourself. You are in my prayers. |

Lie down flat on your back with your palms facing downwards.Fold your legs at the knees.Now try raising your waist slowly as much as you can.Dont strain yourself.Do this 6-10 times at a stretch 2-3 times a day. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Get well soon! |

Jason - get a water bed - no sciatica since I did (except when we go on holidays and sleep in a normal bed!). I got it first when I was 15 - think it was because my Dad couldn't lift anything being disabled and my Mom and me were carrying a fold down bed upstairs - since then I get it on and off too, horrible pain - get well soon! Krissy - love the new avatar! Cathy - thank God for good neighbours! I hope I will have some at the new house! Urmimala - great to see you here! Hello Rick! |
