That is a horrible pain. Poor Mr KK. Would he consider if something like acupuncture might help? I've no idea if it would but I have used it in the past for shoulder pain after an injury and it did help.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Chiropractor and pigeon pose are my friend when my sciatica hits. I hope he's feeling better soon.1

I don't know if this will help but I have had sciatica for decades but it had reduced in later years. However I have not even had a twinge since the surgeon doing my hip replacement made my legs the same length & how weird does that sound!1

Thanks @Watty1, @debtfreewannabe321, @greenbee, @badmemory - I have passed your advice and good wishes on to Mr KK which has made him smile. He does do stretches when he gets into this state and does know a good physio. I think he’ll go with rest and anti inflammatories for a bit and see how he gets on …
In other news, we have booked a first floor flat in a 15th century building for the 2nd week of June in the centre of Bayeux for our 20th wedding anniversary 😊❤️ I have half saved for this trip so the spend tonight (£629) is all covered and we’ll have the rest in place by the time we have to finish paying 😊
Something for us to look forward to through the dark winter months … 🌞❤️😊
