My sciatic nerve on the right side has bothered me for years. I had been seeing a chiropractor which helped some. About 4 or 5 months ago it just stopped. Hooray!
Then I decided it was time to clean stalls. All the bending and shoveling set it off again. Been a real pain for about a month.
Last week end I went on a trail ride with my good friend, Alice, who is a massage therapist. I asked her if she could work on it.
She did. She was using her elbow and it hurt like @#%@* and I finally had to say uncle. It ached for a while, but not the same way and not constant, more like a sore muscle. Now it doesn't hurt at all.
For those of you with sciatic problems, I would recommend you find a massage therapist. 10 minutes with Alice did more than 2 yrs at the chiropractor.
