Ice and heat have both helped relieve some of my sciatica pain. Of course I'm still fighting it. An Xray showed nothing wrong but I haven't put out the money for an MRI yet. I get pain in the butt (haha) and downthe outside of my leg and on the outside of that foot. Of corse it would be the longest nerve in the body that got angry at me! Oh walking helps too, though I can't do much of it in this nasty cold and snow.
Anyway hope the ibu helps, and you might try icing your butt if it gets bad haha.
Thanks for the advice but ice - gah - no, can't face that. Mine responds better to warmth. I stuff a folded up piece of fleece down the back of my knickers to warm the small of my back. My sciatica started after I fell downstairs and broke my coccyx. Everything's a tiny bit lopsided down there now.
heee - i haz a lopsided ass!
Talking of warmth, my Keladra story has got a little more heated as Bellamy is behaving abominably. Still having a lot of fun with it.

I need to get back to work on Keladra. That's one of my January goals, but January is nearly over!
