Laid low with Sciatica - any advice

[Jimafblack]

After a long flight I ended up with a bad back. Stupidity I tried to run it off for a week and now it has developed into sciatica.

Two chiropractor visits has eased the pain and I’m doing gentle stretches I found online. But no running for now.

Anyone else suffered from this? Any advice?

Thanks,

Thank you - yes its the NHS exercises I'm doing and they are helping. The pain is mostly in my calf now - last week it was from my hip to my toes. I will try another session of chiropractor I think. But please send on the exercise also.
