just wondered if there was any sciatica sufferers on here and if they have any useful hints. I have had it intermittently for almost 4 years now after a coccyx injury (not horse related). I finally got doc to refer me to physio, took 15 weeks to be seen by physio. Ive got some exercises to do as I have a significant weakness in my right buttock and leg. So far feeling progress is very slow and was told that this might be it, to accept I might never be fully cured of it :( and that theyl be spells when Im worse than other times. Previously tried going private with chiropractor, sports therapist and sacral-cranial therapy..all with limited results.
I know it is affecting my riding, therefore my youngsters way of going. Im trying to concentrate hard on my position etc but I am a bit sore from stopping myself going crooked. I know everyones case is different but just wondering how others cope.
My worst fear is that one day Ill have to give up riding.
