[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1308300, member: 17844"] Mate I would recommend you go to a specialist rehab person if possible recommended by your Doctor not just your local physio therapist . Definitely no chiropractors and no neck manipulation at all . You don't want someone over doing it and re-injuring you. If you have any weight on you especially around the belly get it off by diet as soon as possible and stay slim as that will help your back and sciatica a lot . Sciatica is nerve based thing and once the nerves get inflamed more exercise can make it worse not better . As soon as you get sciatica use a walking stick straight away on that side to take the pressure off the nerve . This way it will settle down quicker . If you battle on limping along without support it can flare up so bad you can go down crippled and unable to even walk . Hopefully yours is not that bad but I have seen a person unable to stand or walk after a sudden sciatica attack . Buy two collapsible trekking poles like Leki or Petzl , and put them in your back pack for emergency assistance . You also need to be assessed for osteoporosis to see if calcium is leaching from your bones as back bones are the common ones to break with osteoporosis . Calcium supplements could be required . Don't adopt the no pain no gain attitude because you could just break more bones. Follow professional advice and go steady at first building up strength slowly . You may have to back off some of the things you have always done for a while until you are sure you a fine to do it . [/QUOTE]
