Phfft! You *****s and your brutal temperatures. It's a great 78 this morning going to 104 here which is below seasonal norms with RH as low as 10%. I would love that all summer long but it won't last long. Expect 112 by the weekend and old Mother Nature has just gotta throw in a few 115+ days soon.

I blew out my back about 25 yrs ago and have had issues with sciatica ever since. When it would flare up it would make my whole leg would go numb all the way down to my toes. It would last weeks. Periodically I'd get a lighting bolt that would shoot down from my pelvis, through the ass cheek to my toes. Buckle over type of pain... Wowzers... take the breath out of you.

I would eat Advil, Aleve, Tylenol like candy when it would flare up. In talking with my primary care Doc about it, he said that was not the best way to go. It would eat my stomach inside out. He prescribed me a low dosage of amitriptyline. I take 25 mg pill 1x/day at night time. Since on it, I haven't had a major flare up. Can't attribute it to the med 100% though, part of the deal is that I'm more cognizant of lifting with the legs and not the back, doing stretchering exercises for my back and so on.

FORE! Uno NINE!

Oh boy! 🤦

Glad to hear you’re recovering quickly.

Regarding your wife and son - are their symptoms milder than yours and that’s why they’re not taking anything?
