I cannot sleep due to sciatica……..?
2010 July 29
I had a fracture of my L4L5 when it healed I had sciatica but nothing like now. one day I twisted and felt the huge pain and then there were no more sciatica problems. Fast forward 2 years and I pulled a muscle a week ago at work my back feels good now but I have the WORST pain I have ever felt in the right rear cheek down the back of the right thigh and into the calf. I get 3 hours into sleep and bam I wake up in horrible pain so bad that I toss and turn for an hour or more unable to get comfortable. I’m going to see a chiropractor Monday but I need any advice on how to get through the weekend. I’ve tried Icy hot, muscle relaxers, Ibprophen. Any advice from personal experience would be greatly appreciated

something that really helped me was pillows in between the legs, and dont sleep on that side, and try sleeping on that side, see while one is better for you, that worked a little bit for me, also doing stretches with it,
Take a nice hot back to relax your body.
pillow between the legs help and go see the chiropractor asap.
They always help me.
