Ouch!
I've had problems with sciatica a few times over the years. It's nasty. After experiencing severe back pain I could easily empathize with people who are clearly having a tough time crossing the street. Every movement is made slowly and carefully to avoid pain. Your back stiffens if you sit for too long. You feel 90 years old.
My last bout with sciatica was six years ago. This morning I woke up with back pain. I think I pulled a muscle or something. No sciatica pain; it's localized. I'm using ice packs, a back brace, Naproxen — whatever it takes to reduce the inflammation and ease the pain. I hope it feels better tomorrow.
