Looks like I am having Sciatica - a compressed nerve issue The symptoms are painful. The pain starts from the lower back and goes down right to the foot. It is one leg that is bothering me. There are pain killers and also physio therapy exercises. I have called in a physio therapist tomorrow and hope to set matters right In the meantime goiong through quite a tough situation.

It is painful, but the right therapy is much better than pain killers. My husband had it three years ago.

I am sorry to hear this. My sister has it too, and suffers with it. When it is bothering her, she gets like an electric shock going from her spine down to her legs. She has some spinal issues too..which doesn't help at all!
