sciatica?

[bustedchucks]

morning folks

since last thursday i've had sharp pain in my lower lower back that shoots down my right leg ( not so much in the thigh, but more painful in the calf than back) . 3 or so on the pain scale up to about a 4 or 5 with certain or extended activity. the pain is constant.

went to see a chiropracter yesterday, not much help.

so where do i go today? orthopedist? neurologist? the "really great" chirpracter this lady i work with recommends?

mucho gracias

I had what I thought was sciatica for nearly 6 months. Limped around, couldn't sit in the same place for more than a couple hours, took three ibuprofen (sp?) three times a day per doctor's orders.

One trip to a chiropracter, and I found out my hip was out of place. Popped it back in, and it hurt like a mofo (different kind of hurt) for about three days, and has been gone ever since. That was about five years ago.

Of course, my issue could be completely different. I didn't have much pain in my back.
