Thanks for your interest.

Been at physio twice a week for 6 weeks. The sciatica eases but never goes. The Sciatica is mainly in the left buttock. It feels wooden and solid. If I lift anything over 20kg the sciatica increases down the whole of my leg and is quite debilitating. My Physio is Stuart Barton. A very well thought of private sports Physio who has worked for lots of top sports people. He is convinced that the problem is some kind of disc problem although the MRI showed my lower back to be structurally good with some bulges but none showing any impingement on the nerves. He has said that the MRI taken lying on a board and standing up are incredibly different things.

I have been an active person all my life and need to keep active to maintain some prior injuries. Brachial plexus injury being the big one. My Physio has no idea what more to do so has asked me to try to get a private consultation with a private surgeon.

Been back to my GP he agrees with Stuart and although has tried Lyrica, amytriptyline at high dosages for the nerve pain says that more has to be done.

That's where I am now. Thanks for your interest. Any ideas would be great. Tried massage, acupuncture and such.
