Does anyone else experience sciatic type pain? I had a really bad episode months ago because my knees were so bad I couldn't bend or lift properly and my back suffered as a result. It got so bad I couldn't weight bear at all and was frozen to the spot for well over an hour. I've seen a physiotherapist who told me what I knew already, that my back was suffering for not lifting through my knees.
I've never had it as bad but I still frequently get sciatic type pain even when I'm being careful. As soon as I feel a twinge at all I listen to my body and really watch how I'm moving yet it still comes back again.
I currently take Amitriptyline, Meloxicam and Gabapentin amongst many other medications. Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid any episodes or how to ease the symptoms. I'm so scared it gets so bad again & I can't move at all. I'll mention it to my rheumatologist when I see him again in a few months, yet another problem for me to bring up with him!
