Agervated my sciatica:crying: on Friday when i took my kids up to Maine for the day. I can nearly go 15 steps without feelig a sharp pain go from the lower back to my left knee!!! i wont be doing much Cardio this week. I will focus on Abdominals and arms. I will keep taking Tylenol every 6 hours to help during the day. I dont have the option of stopping since i have to take care of the house, my 6 year old daughter, and my 3 year old twin boys!!!.Im feeling down, just needed to vent. My husband is clueless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and a gained 1 lbs...what a HELL!??!?:thumbup:

Wow...you are a busy girl! I'm guessing those kids keep you moving a lot despite not being able to "excercise". Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats on losing weight and being so active and into exercise. I am working on my exercise level. I to have serious sciatica. I went to a shoe store that sells running shoes. They did a custom fit for me into insoles. I got insoles and running (in my case treadmill shoes) shoes for $140.00 for me that is a big investment in myself as I have 5 children. But the shoes and inserts have helped my pain level. And now I am able to walk on the treadmill (holding on to the treamill seems to help the pain level too).

Thanks for the advice Mommy1558

It does seem that when i wear my sneckers i am more stable than when i run around barefoot at home.

I am really bumming over not being able move around more that 15 mins without feeling the pinch going down my leg. My husband is trying to help with what he can.
