  • Has anyone ever had sciatica?

    I ran 70 miles in a week, then 100 miles in a week about five weeks ago (not much fun). I had a bit of a twang in my thigh which then moved to my hamstring, but after a couple of weeks of fairly minimal running, I get a shooting sensation from my calf to my glute. Dr DoubleO has suggested sciatica. I'm 40 on Saturday so I'm due some failing limbs to go with male pattern baldness and white beard hairs

  • Yes, I have - still do occasionally. For me it's a sharp pain down the outside of my calf. Feels like I've pulled a muscle, although I haven't.

    It goes away if I stretch my hamstrings and lower back by lying on my back with a strap or stretchy band around the ball of my foot.
