SCiatica and other pain due to stiff back muscles?
I sit at a computer many hours a day. From time to time I get problems with sciatica, sometimes this is painful in my lower back but more likely it causes sensations and discomfort in my legs. At the moment the muscles in my left leg feel very weak, almost as if they cannot support me. I am also getting some pins and needles in my one arm, which I guess is another tapped nerve. I have seen an osteopath and he tends to sort me out but at a cost. He believes it is the muscles which are tightening that is causing my problem. What can I do on a daily basis to keep there muscles supple. I have done the usual back exercises without much relief.
Also when I take ibuprofen, does this just mask the pain or does the anti inflammatory help to cure the problem.
Ta!

Try yoga babe!
I have damaged back muscles due to a car accident and I get similar pains, I find yoga helps my muscles relax and therefore eases the pain!
Im on loads of anti imflammatorys and they do relax your muscles whilst dulling down the pain! I also take co-codomol to take away the rest of the pain!
Good luck babe!
