Sciatica is pain trawled straight from hell. I had it after my accident in 2004. Just when I thought everything was starting to heal, I woke up in the middle of the night with it, it felt like someone was ramming a red hot poker up my ****. It was simply unbearable. The only position which offered any comfort was in the foetal position, knees on the floor, so as to stretch out the spine and stop the disc from pressing on the nerve, but even then it simply dulled it rather than removed it. I guzzled tramadol every night in the hope of sleeping through it but I had to stop because I found I couldn't do without them, they were so addictive. In the end it went with acupuncture.
Like Ape - my profoundest sympathy to anyone who has the misfortune to get this horrid affliction.
