i have sponylosis so feel your pain.
can i suggest you invest in an actipatch? its a small loop system that you attach to skin and it "blocks" the messages to brain similar to a TENS machine but it doesnt hurt like a tens. i love mine and for £20 from boots might be worth a punt. other than that CBD balm from holland and barrett is amazing stuff... icy gel from pound shop and tiger balm etc. GPs can also give capsicum cream which heats on contact with skin and is a god send and an amazing invention lol. there s not much i havent tried tbf. xx |

I do appreciate that consideration needs to be given to all passengers, having travelled with babies myself for years realise too. This is when people need to co-operate and be considerate towards each others needs. Compromise and there is usually a solution, but sadly not everyone can always manage to achieve that. Thankfully a majority of people are understanding and happy to work together. Makes this a nicer place too.

Something I suffer from on and off but I can usually fix mine in about 3 days by going back and doing my exercises of which there are 3:
Kneel down and slide back as far back and forward as you can Lie on back with hands under top of buttocks and try and push back through them into floor underneath Lie on front with pelvis touching floor and try and get upper body as vertical as possible without moving pelvis off floor Always works for me but we are all different Hope this helps The answer for me would be to do these exercises continuously and not just when sciatica strikes ……… Best of luck

I forgot to mention a tens machine (theres 1 online at argos) if the back 'cramps' or goes into a spasm,this can really help and it works off a battery not electrical.
I also use pillows and the donut type neck cushion to support my back whilst in bed on holiday as I have a board at home which is under part of my mattress and it has hinges so as it can slide on and off the bed. Obviously you won't have this on holiday but the pillows and the cushion do work for me when trying to sleep! good luck to your DH.

We already have a tens machine , thanks to a post today recommending a memory foam sciatica seat cushion. That is something that might help his current symptoms . GP increased his meds today as physio suggested. Going to be a bagful of things for him, usually it is a golf magazine and that's it. Roll reversal this time, gonna be an interesting time. Just as well our daughters are adults now, they will keep me right. They usually do anyway - haha Thank you for the idea's.

Thank you ! it sounds horrendous dealing with this for years as most people seem too. I'll mention the exercises too, he is a regular golfer so open to exercise. Think once he is sorted it will be on the list with golf as a priority for him soon. Hope you don't have any flare ups and manage to keep them all at bay.

Thanks so much, this is strange because I was actually reading about it yesterday. Something I can add to the list, we have friends who have had varying back problems for many years. A couple started in their 30's and they are always open to new products, so will mention it to them as well. It's always helpful when someone knows from experience, so thanks again.
