Last year I had a spinal epidural for my sciatica, which helped reduce the pain and allow me to do more rehab exercises. Yesterday I had another injection this time into the piriformis as it appears my sciatic nerve goes through the middle of the muscle.
Last night was the first time I have been able to touch my toes with no sciatic pain. Today however my buttock is not so happy about having taken a big prick and spurt of fluid. It fucking hurts, hoping this is a temporary state of affairs.
Long term I see that I'll have to continue with the Physio and rehab work a few days a week. Have taken some cues from the videos I posted on the fitness thread which feature core stability exercises as used by a world champ mountain biker. Lots of balance board, wobble cushion and swiss ball work.
