I believe I'm having a flare up of sciatica in my right hip and leg. Interesting as usually it's affected me more on my left side. It's gotten pretty bad over the past day and I'm limping around. So that'll put any running on hold for a while, I think that's actually what brought it on. Been needing to do more strength training and I don't think that'll bother it so on the positive side I'll focus more on that. Was reading this morning that alternating cold massage with moist heat helps so will try that in evenings. I've also been bad lately about eating sugar which leads to inflammation and I believe that's part of the issue. So there's some good motivation to cut out the cheats I've been allowing myself lately.

I've been looking into some stretching exercises to do, have also found some yoga poses that are supposed to help. I'm not real flexible but willing to try anything that'll help, if it doesn't get better I guess I'll go see the doc. For now it seems to be getting worse. I've been walking during my lunch at work, wonder if I should give that up for a while...would hate having to do that.

Do you ever see a chiropractor? I haven't had back issues in years, but when I did, I suffered terribly. Hope you feel better!

Jim I hope you feel better get that under control. Have you every tried one of the neoprene stomach reducers? I use one for heat on my lower back because I know it certainly wont trim my waist but it does put out great heat when working out.
